Forensic Investigation Department
Our Forensic Investigation department is nationally renowned,
highly-accredited, and identifies hundreds of criminals every
year.
It is responsible for collecting evidence at the scene of a
crime and then undertaking a range of specialist processes to
identify suspects.
The department is nationally-recognised as one of the top
performers in the forensic field and Norfolk is one of only a few
forces to be graded as 'Excellent' by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of
Constabulary. During a recent independent assessment by the Home
Office, Norfolk Constabulary also came out top for forensic
detections (from both DNA and fingerprints). The department was
also one of the first in the UK to achieve ISO 9001 quality
accreditation.
Norfolk Forensic Investigation staff deal with over 15,000
crimes per year. They identify over 1,500 individuals per year
through fingerprints and over 500 through the use of
DNA.
Within the department, you will find the following areas of
