"On any given day you might see 100 officers moving through this place ... we need a building here that is fit for purpose and will meet the needs of this very busy police station." The funding will help with telecommunication interceptions, digital forensics like accessing data from serious offender's devices, forensic consumables to identify offenders through DNA testing and Forensic Genetic Genealogy, which uses DNA to identify suspects and missing persons.NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb.
