Abstract

This document is relevant to all police non-specialist front-line staff and forensic unitsi who utilise video evidence and to bring clarity around activities relating to recovery, acquisition, viewing and processing of CCTV. It outlines those activities that must be undertaken by Police Forces and accredited laboratories in line with the Forensic Science Regulator Act 2021 and Statutory Code. The following charts stipulate what level of training is required and whether force procedures must be in place to carry out Forensic Science Activities (FSAs) and mitigate the risks highlighted by the risk matrix where activities may be excluded from accreditation. This document has been created to support the recommendations of the NPCC CCTV Working Group and Specialist Capability Network and supersedes the now defunct Annex A and B CCTV Scope for Accreditation document, which was previously circulated by the NPCC as a supplement to the first Forensic Regulators FSR-C-119 Code of Practice and Conduct, now replaced by the Statutory Code and FSA Digital Forensics - Video Analysis, and FSA Basic Recovery and Acquisition of Images.
