Crime Scene Investigation

Firstly, Defence Forensics UK can re-visit crime scenes in order to determine if the full extent of forensic evidence was visualised, recovered, analysed and made available for consideration and interpretation. This covers all forensic science disciplines, with a bias towards forensic serology, biology and DNA testing procedures.

Secondly, as well as re-visiting crime scenes to ensure all correct physical evidence was made available for forensics and investigative use, Defence Forensics UK is also able to provide a review of crime scene data, forensic laboratory processes/ procedures, forensic laboratory reports, photographs of the crime scene and all physical evidence recovered, whether tested or not, to ensure that the most was made of any physical evidence present at the scene relating to the offence, and that the crime scene and evidence were correctly processed throughout, including testing in the forensic laboratory.

From a detailed analysis of the crime scene, evidence recovered and methods used to test them, it is possible to generate strategy development for further avenues that may not have been explored the first time around, that includes testing or retesting of any items of evidence that were not originally tested, but that may have important implications regarding the offence in question.
