We were delighted to be included in a visit of East Midlands High Sheriffs to EMSOU yesterday. This is the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, a collaborative unit shared by the police forces of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire. It was fascinating to tour the facilities, see the forensic teams in operation and to learn about the challenges they face and the technology available to them. Having already been very impressed by the work of the forensic teams at Stafford Police HQ a few months ago, it is reassuring for us all to know that these teams are at the cutting edge of modern policing.
