Staffordshire Forensic Partnership

Description

The partnership was introduced by John Beckwith then Head of Forensic Services, Staffordshire Police & Andrew Jackson the then Academic Group Leader, Forensic and Crime Sciences Department, Staffordshire University who both realised the benefits of developing a partnership including training and development, student placements and development projects.
Early success from student placements supported their vision of creating a joint centre of excellence that would enhance the service Staffordshire Police provides to its communities, the role Staffordshire University plays in the education and employability of their students and the overall contribution forensic science makes to society. There was also a great fit with the ever changing and developing forensic environment, and the challenging financial climate within the Public Sector.

John and Andrew’s initial vision has been developed into an integrated partnership incorporating on a formal footing between Staffordshire Police, Staffordshire University and the Office of the  Commissioner for Staffordshire. It continues to grow from strength to strength.
