The States of Jersey Police's Scientific Services is made up of our Crime Scene Investigation Department and our Digital Forensic Unit.
The department is equipped to use all the available scientific techniques in the fight against crime from forensic examination to the recovery of digital imagery.
Scientific investigation begins when a crime scene investigation is carried out by Crime Scene Investigators. The CSIs visit a location where a crime has taken place and examine the crime scene, looking for forensic evidence that could identify the offender or prove a particular suspect’s involvement in the crime.
This forensic material then has to be examined, catalogued and analysed.
The Digital Forensic Unit undertakes the forensic examination and retrieval of evidence or intelligence from computers, computer-related media and other digital devices.
