Forensic Services Committee - 6 August

Date : 06 August 2024

Location : Online


Fall in recorded absence

Performance across Forensic Services remains good, particularly at a time where we started rolling out the New Operating Model across most areas of the organisation. There was also a significant improvement in recorded absences over the past year.

There was also a notable improvement in the Search and Recovery Scenes incident response times which is partly because of improving capacity and the embedding of the new processes in the Scenes Tasking Unit.
