Cell Site of the Week

Cell Site Analysis in 2022
This year Footprint Investigations have expanded once again and now have two offices to house the ever-increasing number of staff.
We had to turn a significant amount of work away last year so we expanded in 2022 to service the growing number of cell site cases.
We also have a totally new department dealing with graphics packs for use at court. We have a specialist team producing timeline exhibits including CCTV images and video used to assist the jury in cases.
Merry Christmas from the Cell Site Experts
The team at Footprint Investigations would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
As ever, we have not sent cards to any of our customers, instead we have made a donation to Acorns Children’s Hospice which is a local charity in Birmingham.
Our Office will close for the Christmas period on the 23rd December at 5pm and will reopen on the 3rd January 2023 at 8am.
We will be available to law enforcement agencies over the holiday period for emergency assistance only on 07728 191777.
Happy 12th Birthday to The Cell Site Experts
Footprint Investigations have been established for twelve years this week. We have grown steadily and are still the largest independent dedicated cell site analysis supplier in the UK.
