Working alongside experienced Digital Forensics practitioners in a professional office environment, you will gain valuable hands‑on experience across various areas of the department. This role combines comprehensive training within a real forensics environment, alongside classroom learning with the support of the apprenticeship training provider, working to gain a qualification and develop the necessary skills for a successful career in digital forensics, all while earning a wage.
During the course of your training and studies you will:
- Learn forensic examination principles
- Learn to carry our forensic acquisition and review of data from digital devices, including mobile devices, computers, and storage media
- Learn to use industry‑standard forensic tools and software
- Learn to work within the bounds of the laws and regulations that govern forensic practices and police investigations
- Learn to support non‑technical staff, including police officers, to operate digital forensic systems
- Assist with provision of evidence‑viewing capabilities for investigating officers
- Support colleagues with forensic case work
- Be prepared to appear in court as a witness of fact
You will start work at our central laboratory at Lambeth HQ, but during your course of study you will attend training with the apprenticeship training provider, and will have postings to digital forensic hubs situated across the MPS estate, to provide a range of training and experience. We will endeavour to place staff at locations which are most accessible to them, in consideration of operational needs.
