South Wales Joint Scientific Investigation Unit

The South Wales Joint Scientific Investigation Unit (Welsh: Uned Ymchwilio Gwyddonol ar y Cyd De Cymru) is a specialist forensic police unit established in April 2012. It specialises in analysis of drugs, glass, fingerprints, digital crime scenes, ballistics, trace evidence, and forensic samples. The SWJSIU is based in Bridgend. It is funded by and serves South Wales Police and Gwent Police, independent from the Forensic Science Service of England and Wales. The SWJSIU was launched after the closure of the nearby government-owned Forensic Science Service (FSS) regional laboratory in Chepstow.
