Our Team
We have an incredibly varied and yet complementary team; from technical computer security, through to criminology, with digital forensics, language analysis, human rights informatics and surveillance research in between. My main aim for the CSI Centre is to build a supportive research environment and to attract more researchers to tackle cybercrime and security research and development.

West Yorkshire Police
The CSI Centre has a close working relationship with West Yorkshire Police force; working directly with the Digital Forensics Unit (DFU) and Cyber Crime Team (CCT) to investigate and improve the way cybercrime and digital evidence is processed.
Collaboration with West Yorkshire Police began in 2007 whereby the DFU were brought on board to consult on the development of the new Leeds Beckett undergraduate degree in Computer Forensics. This collaboration has continued to grow and mature throughout the years. Currently the relationship centres around the symbiotic exercises including research and training, recruitment, student/client project support, and student work experience and employment. In parallel to the DFU and CCT relationship are the previous work collaborations with I-Surv and D-Scent (EPSRC funded) research projects.
