Australia
The New South Wales Police Force in Australia uses police and civilian Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCOs) in a similar manner to their British counterparts. SOCOs are part of the Forensic Services Group. Generally SOCOs are limited in the types of tasks they can handle due to their training and scope in which they operate. Major incidents and more serious offences/investigations are handled by full-time sworn officers and specialists from the Forensic Services Group.
