Nampa Police Department Cellebrite ROI Case Study

This case study details the implementation of Cellebrite’s Guardian and Pathfinder products by the Nampa Police Department in Idaho. The document outlines the challenges faced by the agency with previous lightweight digital forensics tools that hindered data extraction and sharing processes. After deploying the new solutions, the department achieved a 116 percent return on investment (ROI) within a payback period of just over one year. Key benefits included the retirement of over $13,000 in annual hardware and software costs, as well as significant time savings amounting to approximately $85,500 annually. The study highlights the efficiency gained in evidence workflows, allowing for quicker access and analysis of digital evidence. The implementation was minimally disruptive, supported by training and resources provided by Cellebrite. The document also discusses the financial analysis, including direct and indirect benefits, and emphasizes the importance of modern solutions in law enforcement to meet evolving challenges.
