All forces will be accredited to access this data supported by the Home Office project team and security advisers. The CAID system allows the use of forces’ existing image grading and hashing software. <br><br>Any additional software needed to access CAID and to upload new material from the forces/NCA-CEOP Command to the database is provided as part of the central project at no cost to the forces. <br><br>Each force is responsible for its own set-up costs to establish the connectivity of their force High Tech Crime Unit or Grading Unit in an <br>enhanced, secure way to the police secure network that already exists in their forces.<br><br>It is expected that the CAID will cost forces approximately £20,000 per year in service costs (which are used to maintain and improve the database).
