    SOCOTEC’s Environmental Science Division has extensive experience in Forensic Science Services offering a high quality range of evidence examination services to both public and private sector clients.

    Police Service

    Our main role is support to Court in their investigation of criminal activities. Our team of experts will provide consistent, reliable and timely results for our customers within the legal fraternity. In addition to this, other tests, monitoring and analysis functions that we undertake ensure that health and safety standards are maintained within the County Police forces. We work across a range of markets and for a large number of the UK’s police forces. We will be asked to examine evidence; test drugs and glass; analyse paints, tool marks, and footwear for the police and legal professions. We are market leaders and as such, our scientists will testify and give evidence as expert witnesses in Court.

    We offer a high quality range of evidence examination services to both public and private sector clients. The principles of forensic examination and chain of custody are applied rigorously to all processes. We provide reports and statements to the Criminal Justice system and Civil Court with experienced expert witnesses to present the evidence in Court. We also provide consultancy services to ensure the smooth running of investigation.

    Prison Service

As well as health and safety, these regulations include topics such as: occupational health, food safety, fire safety, environmental protection and the disposal of hazardous waste.
