Data and Digital Forensics conference (ICDDF).17 The ICDDF is an annual conference which
recognises global excellence and collaboration in the investigation of digital and cybercrime and intelligence in law enforcement and is attended by law enforcement agencies
from around the world. At the conference, our Inspectors contributed to workshops and
seminars with global partners, answering queries on investigatory powers procedures in the
UK and IPCO’s oversight.
