Forensic Times

The world's leading open platform for forensic intelligence, investigative journalism, and hands-on forensic education — connecting a global community through world-class cyber, forensic, and AI summits, conferences, expos, and workshops.


Forensic Times was founded on a single conviction: that forensic knowledge belongs to everyone. From the courtroom to the laboratory, from the digital crime scene to the international summit stage — the people working at the intersection of truth and justice deserve a platform worthy of their work. We built that platform, and we made it global — through investigative journalism, world-class events, and hands-on training.

Purpose

Our Mission & Vision

Mission

To Democratise Forensic Knowledge

Forensic Times exists to give every student, researcher, journalist, and professional in the forensic and legal ecosystem a credible place to publish, learn, and be recognised — regardless of where they are in the world or where they are in their career.

We believe that original reporting, rigorous investigation, and field expertise deserve an audience. Our mission is to build the infrastructure that makes that possible: world-class summits and conferences, hard-hitting investigative journalism, and hands-on workshops that turn knowledge into skill.

Vision

The Global Standard for Forensic Engagement

We are building the platform that becomes the first destination for anyone working in forensic science, criminal law, cybersecurity, intelligence, or investigative research — the place where the best events are hosted, the best stories are told, and the next generation of forensic leaders are trained.

A world where every major cyber, forensic, and AI breakthrough is discussed on our stage. Where investigative journalism holds the field accountable. Where practical, hands-on workshops close the gap between theory and real-world practice.


Our Platform

What We Do

01

World-Class Summits & Expos

We convene leading cyber, forensic, and AI summits, conferences, and expos around the world — bringing together practitioners, researchers, law enforcement, and technologists to share breakthroughs and shape the future of the field.

02

Investigative Journalism

Our editorial team produces original investigative journalism, deep-dive case analyses, and policy commentary — holding institutions accountable and giving the public a clear, evidence-based window into forensic and criminal justice matters.

03

Forensic Science Workshops

We run hands-on forensic science workshops and training sessions covering digital forensics, DNA analysis, crime scene investigation, courtroom procedure, and more — practical skills taught by working practitioners.

04

Fund the Work That Matters

Through our grants and sponsorship programme, we provide partial and full funding for conferences, seminars, research projects, inter-college exchange programmes, and field visits to forensic labs, courts, and investigative units.

05

Build Community

Our members' community connects forensic students and professionals across the world — enabling peer review, mentorship, collaboration, and professional networking across disciplines and borders.

06

Careers & Jobs Board

From verified membership badges and LinkedIn credentials to a members-only jobs board connecting talent with forensic, legal, and cybersecurity employers worldwide — we invest in the long-term careers of everyone who joins us.

Truth is not found — it is investigated. Every researcher, analyst, and professional who gives their career to that pursuit deserves a platform equal to their dedication.

Our Journey

How We Got Here

2023

The Idea

Forensic Times was conceived in response to a simple observation: the most important forensic knowledge in the world was locked behind institutional walls, inaccessible journals, and paywalled databases. The founding team set out to change that.

2024

Platform Launch

Forensic Times launched at forensictimes.com — an open platform covering forensic science, criminal law, cybercrime, and investigative intelligence. The first wave of contributors came from the UK, Nigeria, India, and Kenya.

2025

Community & Programmes

The Campus Ambassador Programme launched, bringing Forensic Times into universities across multiple continents. Webinar partnerships with forensic practitioners and academic institutions were established, and our first forensic workshops were piloted.

2026

Summits, Journalism & Global Reach

Forensic Times expanded onto the world stage — hosting cyber, forensic, and AI summits and expos, scaling its investigative journalism desk, and rolling out hands-on forensic workshops alongside open membership and community programmes for students and professionals worldwide.

World-Class Forensic Events

Summits, conferences, workshops, and expos bringing together forensic scientists, investigators, cybersecurity professionals, legal practitioners, and researchers from across the globe. In person and online. Open to all.
