Sedgwick County approved a Cellebrite software purchase for a total amount of $53,300 recommended by the sheriff's office. Presenters said the software helps investigators access electronic devices when passcodes prevent access and that it is a critical tool for the exploited and missing children's unit.
"Cellebrite is a software used to help investigators when they need to ... access electronic devices without a passcode. This is a critical tool for the exploited and missing children's unit," the presenter said. The board had no questions; a motion to accept the quote was moved, seconded and carried by roll call.
The meeting record did not include contract term details or training and access policies for the software; those operational aspects were not discussed in the public record.
