Fire Investigators Research and Training
The Chair of the Forensic Services Committee joined colleagues and partners at the opening of the new Research and training Facility in Portleven, Aberdeenshire on 6th June 2023. This is significant milestone for this project and is a collaboration with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science, and the Danish Police Special Crimes Unit.
This innovative project uses photogrammetric recording of scenes to allow them to be reconstructed into Virtual Reality. This cutting-edge approach ensures that training opportunities are captured, recorded and can be used for many years to come - ensuring that future Fire Investigation training will be secure in Scotland.
