יגזעקיאַטיוו קיצער:
The Transforming Forensics Programme was established in 2017 to support police forces in England and Wales to deliver sustainable, high quality forensic science capabilities in support of the Home Office’s Forensic Science Strategy.
As a result of work carried out by the Transforming Forensics Programme, PCCs and Chief Constables are now asked to enter into a collaboration agreement pursuant to section 22A of the Police Act 1996 (as amended by the PRSRA) to establish a Forensic Capability Network (FCN). The FCN is a community of all its members’ forensic science capabilities and expertise – still owned and managed locally but benefitting from a level of collective investment, focus, networking and support. Its aim is to work together nationally to deliver high quality, specialist forensic science capabilities; to share knowledge; and to improve resilience, efficiency, quality and effectiveness.
All Chief Constables, PCCs (and equivalents) are party to this Agreement. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset will act as the initial Host Policing Body. The responsibilities of individual PCCs in respect of governance of the FCN, strategy, financial and budgetary arrangements (including in the event of the expiry of Home Office direct grant funding) and voting are detailed in the Agreement.
