An exciting opportunity has arisen within Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire’s Scientific Support Unit.

ISO accredited fingerprint examination work is carried out from a tri-force unit based at Hertfordshire Constabulary Headquarters in Welwyn Garden City. The unit is primarily responsible for analysing, comparing, evaluating, and verifying fingerprints and crime scene marks and utilises IDENT1, the national fingerprint system.

A Vacancy has arisen for the role of Fingerprint Bureau Team Leader who will be responsible for the supervision and management of all unit staff. Applicants will need to collaborate closely with existing Team Leaders and demonstrate a sound understanding of the requirements of ISO 17025 and The Forensic Science Regulator’s Codes of Conduct and Practice, conduct final checking of casework and the preparation and presentation of fingerprint evidence for Court.
