Ashley Beck

After working on child sexual exploitation online investigations, I live and breathe to build technology to support CSE investigations.

Ashley joined SAS in 2022 to help develop CSE solutions for law enforcement and is an active board member of Scottish women’s forums for policing, technology, diversity and inclusion. Before SAS, Ashley was a police officer for 18 years. During her time, she implemented a highly specialized cyber training academy to support officers in UK law enforcement. This training teaches an understanding of digital evidence and the explanation of it in judicial settings. Ashley has been dedicated to investigations for years and supports the development of technology that enables officers to protect children faster while ensuring officer well-being.

Having professional and academic IT and data training, as well as being an experienced investigator, has positioned Ashley in an optimal place to add value. She investigates complex online child sexual exploitation activity using technology that helps identify risk and prioritize actions designed to protect children. Ashley is a mother of twins who are incredibly proud that she has so much passion and dedication to making the world safer for children online and in real life.
