Job Details

Working within Joint Protective Services (Scientific Services Unit), this is an exciting and challenging opportunity to provide an accessible and resilient CCTV and VIPER service supporting local investigations for Bedfordshire Police and Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Constabularies.

You will report to the Forensic Imaging Supervisor and you will be part of a team of 18 Forensic Imaging Technicians, making footage from CCTV and Media systems of suspects and incidents available to investigators and Criminal Justice partners for expeditious disposal of cases and running identification procedures for known suspects. This role will also involve extensive liaison with case officers, victims, suspects, witnesses, appropriate adults and solicitors to ensure that the identification procedure is carried out in a timely manner.

Please note that this role follows a shift pattern, and weekend work is required. The successful candidate will be based at Stevenage.

The successful candidate should have: current experience and understanding of investigative and Criminal Justice processes; knowledge of CCTV or other digital image capture systems or the aptitude to learn; the ability to understand and apply relevant legal requirements, keeping up to date with changes to the law, case law, codes of practice and statutory guidance, and the ability to maintain accurate records and statistics on electronic databases. The ability to travel across all three forces is also required and therefore you must have access to your own vehicle.

Due to the training commitment by the unit no internal moves to other departments will be considered for the first 2 years of employment.
