Call Patterns within Cell Site Analysis Evidence

Have the prosecution identified patterns of calls between your client and other defendants within their Cell Site evidence? We are yet to receive and accept the content of such a Crown document as the interpretation of such evidence is often misleading.

Your client may have been using a particular cell at the time of interest, however it may be the case that they frequently use the same cell, therefore making any inference unremarkable. Also the volume and frequency of contact with other parties may appear unremarkable when an extended period of data is analysed.

As well as Cell Site Analysis Experts we also have professional Call Pattern Analysts. They can put this evidence into context for you which can usually show that an alternative set of conclusions can be formed.

Call pattern analysis is an intelligence technique which is used to identify patterns in mobile phone traffic. When our cell site experts are conducting work on a criminal defence case they are frequently provided with a document prepared by the prosecution, presented as a statistical interpretation of contacts between parties of interest. Any analysis should be based on the processing of good data and the implementation of sound techniques used by either the cell site analysis expert or Analyst.

The purpose of any test and data parameters should be transparent and clearly defined. In the absence of any component, the results cannot be validated and should be considered potentially misleading or unreliable.

If you have been served with cell site analysis evidence it will no doubt contain a document which will show contact between the defendants in a case.  Our cell site analysis experts have yet to receive and accept the content of such a Crown document. The interpretation of such evidence is often ambiguous and misleading so we have professional Call Pattern Analysts who can put this evidence into context.

Any professional analysis should clearly identify the criteria in which the analysis relies upon. However this is rarely the case with prosecution documents and as such, opportunities arise in which an alternative set of conclusions can be formed.

Analysis of this type of data can be a time consuming and complex task. The cell site analysis experts at Footprint Investigations use bespoke call data analysis software. This allows large volumes of data to be simplified and formatted, allowing for both swift and accurate interpretation of results.
