Alongside colleagues from other forces in southern Wales and the south-west of England, the CSIs were able to hone a variety of skills to enhance further the work they do in real-life scenarios.

 

 

CSIs’ main role within policing is to examine crime scenes and record or preserve anything that could be used as evidence – and all with the aim of bringing offenders to justice and protecting the wider public.

 

 

 

The drills during the recent sessions included excavating evidence following a fire, with that aspect of the training taking place at Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service’s headquarters.

Also among the learning was a study of blood pattern analysis, including how that can demonstrate the height, angle and from what surface blood might have dripped from.
