Alecto Forensic Services are happy to announce their provision of Proficiency Testing (PT) for Police Forces seeking ISO 17020 accreditation for crime scene examination protocols. We are currently working towards our own ISO 17043 accreditation in this area.

Alecto has already developed a test covering anti-contamination procedures, powder enhancement of fingermarks and visible body fluid recovery, delivered at our Shrivenham testing facility, or remotely by prior arrangement. This is combined with a process inspection to provide a comprehensive test.

The key strength of this test is the inter-lab assessment capability, with anonymised groups of forces compared against identical testing suites.

We are in the process of developing and rolling out further breadth of testing to cover all major aspects of volume crime operations.
