Forensic Services Committee - 7 May 2024
Date : 07 May 2024
Location : Online
Scenes Tasking Unit
The National Tasking Unit, who are responsible for the triaging and subsequent deployment of Scene Requests, have now been delivering this work for one year. Alongside the introduction of the new ways of working in Search & Recovery Scenes, these have together improved the use of Scene Examination resources.
Police Scotland Portfolio Assurance colleagues have undertaken an independent post implementation review which is undergoing a final review before being submitted to Forensic Services. The resultant actions in response to this review will be taken forward as part of the response to the recommendations of the external review of our tasking and deployment processes which has been carried out by colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Service.
