While detained, we provide individuals with all their physical, mental healthcare and wellbeing needs, and gather any forensic samples needed by the police to aid investigations. Making careful records on our computerised systems, you will assess whether people are fit to be detained or released, administer medications when needed, and work with local liaison and diversion teams to address root‑cause issues that can prevent future crime. No previous forensic experience is required – we will provide all your training.
