Abstract
One outcome from a Forensic Intelligence Workshop held by Australia New Zealand
Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA) National Institute of Forensic Science (NIFS)
in Canberra in October 2011 was the identification that, generally, there is not an
intelligence culture within forensic science and organisational and cultural change
would be required if forensic science is to play a meaningful role in the intelligence
space. Over the past decade, attempts have been made to develop a best practice
Integrated Forensic Intelligence Model to improve the integration of crime scene
physical evidence, intelligence, and investigative capabilities. Although there has
been some progression, it has been isolated, jurisdictionally driven and rarely
strategic. This paper begins by examining some of the organisational and cultural
barriers to the development and implementation of ‘forensic intelligence’ models in
Australian jurisdictions. It goes on to outline the progress that has been made,
despite these challenges, towards the development of a forensic intelligence culture
in some jurisdictions, and identifies some of the factors that have contributed to this
shift. It concludes with some recommendations for a way forward.
