Forensic Services Committee - 30 October 2025
Date : 30 October 2025
Location : Online
Alignment to the New Strategic Direction
The establishment of the Cyber and Fraud Unit (CAFU) within Specialist Crime Division, with a proposed redesign of DF represents a structural shift in how digital capability will be delivered. Pausing the ISO 17025 project protects operational capacity by enabling concentration of effort on managing the growing laboratory workload.
The DF business area and PDWP have been working closely to identify solutions to improve DF for Police Scotland.
