Digital forensics qualifications and standards from 2013
Dear Tasmania Police,
Would you please provide me with a list of the relevant qualifications of officers and employees working in digital forensics section [or the section of Tasmania Police that equates to digital forensics in other jurisdictions] and which standards they are required to adhere to from 1st January 2013 until this day.
If you find that this request is too broad, I would appreciate some indication as to why so that I may narrow my request.
I request this information as a matter of public interest, and as such further request that any applicable fees for this RTI request be waived.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Lawler

Dear Right to Information (DPFEM),
I apologise for my lack of understanding the steps required, this is my first Tasmanian RTI/FOI request. I hope that you can bare with me as I seek some clarification.
The form indicates that the it may be submitted electronically. However there doesn't seem to be an avenue to electronically insert a signature - the field provided seems to be 'write protected'. I understand that the form could be printed out, signed, scanned, and then sent back however the submitted form then becomes unreadable for Web Accessibility purposes.
I would appreciate it if you can provide me some guidance on this.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Lawler
Mr Lawler,
Scanning the application form, printing it then signing it and emailing it back to this office will suffice.
We have not had any issues with this process in the past.

Dear Right to Information (DPFEM),
I again note that printing the application form, signing it, scanning it and emailing it back will not enable Accessibility, in that people with eyesight difficulties using Text To Speech Readers will not be able to view it.
I believe that because others have not had an issue with this in the past does not necessarily mean it won't be an issue in the future.
I request that you reconsider your decision about requiring non-Accessible electronic forms.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Lawler
