If You Review Digital Evidence, This 15-Minute Session Is Worth Watching

Most digital investigators don’t miss intelligence because they lack skill. They miss it because they are overloaded, under time pressure, and relying on tools that struggle to keep up with modern caseloads. Former UK Police Sergeant Tom Oldroyd has recorded a short on-demand session demonstrating three focused tools designed to help investigators surface intelligence faster, review media more confidently, and generate structured descriptions without adding extra workload. Watch Video Rather than replacing existing forensic platforms, the tools are designed to sit alongside current workflows, adding targeted capabilities where investigators often lose time or certainty. In the session, Tom walks through: S21 School Badge Lookup – helping investigators identify schools from uniform badges and logos visible in imagery S21 Deepfake Detector – supporting rapid assessment of potentially manipulated or synthetic imagery S21 AI Describe – generating structured scene descriptions in seconds to support intelligence development and reporting, including describing complex or sensitive imagery such as CSAM All three tools run fully offline and integrate alongside existing forensic workflows, allowing teams to add capability without changing their existing tools or processes.
