About us

The NSW Police Force (NSWPF) is one of the largest police forces in the western world, with more than 20,000 employees, including more than 4,000 administrative employees who support the sworn officers that provide a range of law and order services 24 hours a day, seven days a week to the socially, geographically and culturally diverse community of NSW.

About the role

The Scene of Crime Officer's primary role is the provision of technical support services with regard to the gathering and interpretation of forensic examination at volume crime scenes.

Forensic Evidence & Technical Services employees who may have contact with crime scenes or related exhibits as a part of their duties, and visitors to FETS facilities where these examinations take place, can be asked to provide a DNA sample for elimination purposes, to be included on the Quality Assurance Register (QAR) maintained by the Forensic and Analytical Science Services (FASS) laboratory.

Employees seeking employment into operational or laboratory roles must provide a DNA sample on commencement of their employment. Failure to provide a DNA reference sample may result in the employee's offer of appointment being withdrawn or their employment being annulled.

This Talent Pool is being created for future Ongoing or Temporary roles that may arise over the next 18 months.
