Process of checking devices
Notifications OFF
Does anyone know how long the process of checking devices takes once you've reached the top of the list.
The have an xbox, tablet and iPhone. We were told they were due to start the process on 28th March so almost 2 months ago. Surely if they had started they would be finished by now.

My husband was arrested start of feb this year for online sexual communication offence. They checked the devices x1 month ago and everything was clear he had x4 different devices. I know if anything is found images ect they then have to be sent of for forensic examination and where we live they said the current wait time is x9 months. Because it was a decoy conversation we now await CPS outcome x
Our is my 16yr old son. We got told they were not checked prior and just sent off. We think they are looking for one image the way the spoke. But we know my son reported items on Snapchat that violated the rules.
It ridiculous how long it takes, our knock was end of last July. Wouldn't surprise me if they haven't started checking them yet. But on the day of the knock we got told at least 12 months.
I just don't get why they were not checked prior to being sent to forensics.

I honestly don't know. Seems each police force do things completely different! I get that impression from reading on here. See my husbands has been fairly quick feb arrested and now we are at CPS stage x
Sorry to bump on. My partner was arrested end of January and now in the CPS decision he was also talking to a decoy and is on bail till end of September it's so frustrating the waiting
They took my husband's phone and tablet. They also took the kids phones and mines. My laptop was checked in our home. Me and the kids got our phones back after a few hours. My husband's phone and tablet was sent away in the March and the forensic/cyber report didn't come back until January this year.
Our knock was last June, went for bail in September and told they had just been sent off. We were told because of such a high volume of cyber crime at the moment, it would take 12 months, however he would be surprised if they were back by then and said could take up to 15 months. We got told in April they were back and went for 2nd interview shortly after so sometimes it's quicker than quoted
My big concern is that this is not sorted before he's 18yrs old. Its already having a negative impact on his A levels.
He's a kid who reports every thing that's wrong or against law. Some would call him a snitch. We do believe he's not intentionally done anything wrong.
