Today is the #InternationalDayOfWomenandGirlsInScience, and like many others in the science world, we are celebrating the achievements and contributions of women in science and recognising their important role in shaping our society. ⁣
⁣
Our Forensic Services Department (FSD) operates across three locations - Macleod, Ballarat, and Morwell - and is one of Australia's biggest providers of forensic science services. ⁣
⁣
The skilled team includes a mix of forensic officers (mostly scientists) and specialised police officers who work together to provide expert forensic analysis. ⁣
⁣
Their specialised skills cover a wide range of areas, including: ⁣
⁣
🧬 DNA testing ⁣
🧪 chemical analysis ⁣
🌱 botany ⁣
🔫 ballistics ⁣
📹 recovering or enhancing audio-visual evidence. ⁣
⁣
If you’re interested in a career in forensic science, there are two main paths that could lead you to Victoria Police’s FSD: a science career or a police career. ⁣
