Find the digital evidence to secure convictions

We’re improving the way we deliver forensic services, so investigations can happen faster. As part of this, we’re expanding our team and recruiting a Digital Forensic Specialist. It’s your chance to take on an important role, where you’ll help to bring criminals to justice through your first-class technical skills.

Working in our central laboratory or on attachment to teams, you’ll examine digital devices. You’ll extract and view data for investigations, presenting it clearly to officers. The better our systems, the better our chances of securing convictions. With this in mind, you’ll strive to improve our resources and processes.

In this diverse working environment, you never know what the next challenge will be. It’s a varied role where you’ll get to build your skills by moving between forensic departments. To be considered, you must be a Forensic Technician. Alternatively, you may have worked in a Digital Forensics crime unit. Either way, you’ll have a relevant degree (or equivalent) and knowledge of modem operating systems, forensic analysis techniques and commonly used applications. This expertise should come with sound judgement, good communication skills and experience of one of the following:

- Computer forensics examinations

- Computing devices and systems at a technical level

- Software coding, e.g. Python.

We view diversity as fundamental to our success. To tackle today’s complex policing challenges, we need a workforce made up from all of London’s communities. Applications from across the community are therefore essential.
