Resumo executivo

The Commissioner, together with the Chief Constable, is asked to sign an amended Section 22A Collaboration Agreement as a member of the Forensic Collision Investigation Network (FCIN).  A variation is to the current S22A is needed because the Target Operating Model has been revised after recommendations from UKAS (the UK Accreditation Service).

The purpose of FCIN is to develop the underpinning science that is used by collision investigators in defining the evidence presented into the criminal justice system. It supports Forces in building the capabilities required to meet the Forensic Science Regulator codes and standards and fundamentally become accredited by UKAS within ISO standards. It aims to facilitate achievement of UKAS accreditation for all Member Forces in England and Wales and thereafter support the maintenance of this accreditation.
