Biometrics Commissioner
Forensic Services welcome the comments by the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner Dr Brian Plastow at the SPA Authority Meeting in November about the “world-leading service” Forensic Services deliver and our “real openness and transparency”.
At the meeting Dr Plastow said: “SPA Forensic Services offer one of the most advanced DNA interpretation and analysis capabilities in world policing.” We will continue to work with Dr Plastow to ensure we use biometric data in a manner which is ethically responsible, legislatively compliant, and respects the rights of individuals, while at the same time facilitates its use in the investigation and resolution of crime.
