The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is tasked with systemic oversight of the Seattle Police Department and the Office of Police Accountability. The OIG conducts in-depth audits, policy reviews, and complex investigations into police practices. The databases they manage contain highly classified internal reviews and sensitive oversight materials.
Because of the critical nature of this oversight data, standard municipal IT triage is often not secure or advanced enough to reconstruct a failed investigative drive physically. The OIG relies on Seattle IT's secure network, but when hardware fails, strict chain-of-custody protocols must be maintained.
This is exactly why Seattle Data Recovery has completely transitioned its services. Our dedicated laboratory in the UW Medicine Building in Ballard is designed for highly secure extraction of postgraduate data. Professional data recovery requires professional spacing, and our advanced Ballard facility ensures that the OIG's vital oversight data is recovered without compromising investigative integrity.
