CEDAR Cambridge//audio forensic standard in Poland

CEDAR Audio's flagship speech enhancement system, CEDAR Cambridge, has 
been adopted by the Polish Government Crime Laboratories as the standard tool 
for audio forensic investigation, and each of the country's seven crime labs 
(located in Warsaw, Gdansk, Olsztyn, Lublin, Katowice, Wroclaw and Poznan) has 
a fully specified CEDAR Cambridge system for processing criminal and 
surveillance recordings. 
Why CEDAR Cambridge? 
By standardising on CEDAR Cambridge, the Polish law enforcement crime 
laboratories not only have access to the latest forensic audio capabilities, but can 
also ensure that investigators are able to use familiar technology no matter 
where in the country they are working. 
The purchase of the systems was supported by EEA Grant PL0487, "Creation of 
the forensic teams supporting law enforcement agencies and judiciary in the area 
of combating crime" in partnership with the Norwegian National Police 
Directorate. The purpose of the Project is to enhance the efficiency of the Polish 
police by creating seven forensic expert teams for combating crime, with the 
overall objective of increasing national security and the security of the Schengen 
Area. 
The seven CEDAR Cambridge systems were specified and installed by CEDAR's 
Polish Dealer, DAVE, which managed the standardisation of audio and video 
forensics systems across the whole country.
