Summary
The board approved a $53,470 contract for a GrayKey forensic tool used to extract data from locked smartphones for the district attorney's forensic laboratory; the county said the tool will support criminal investigations and forensic analysis.
The Cumberland County commissioners on April 8 approved a $53,470 contract to acquire a GrayKey phone‑extraction tool for the district attorney’s forensic laboratory.
Eric Radovich, who presented the item, described the purchase as a principal software package used in the county’s forensic lab "to crack iPhones." He said the tool’s cost was $53,470 and fielded no questions from the board before the motion to approve was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Radovich did not provide further procurement details in the meeting discussion or address whether any existing tools would be retired; the board recorded the approval as a routine contract action. No public comment was received on the item during the meeting.
The contract will be managed within the district attorney’s forensic laboratory budget and was presented to the board as a discrete procurement vote.
