West Yorkshire Police Imaging Unit is one of the leading police
imaging facilities in the UK. We have a team of imaging specialists working across a range of disciplines to provide a service to the whole force from our base in Wakefield. Working with digital still photography or with video cameras as appropriate to the subject, an Imaging Officer's working day can be varied and challenging. Increasingly multimedia software skills such as those used to recreate virtual crime scenes are as important as camera skills.
Our work ranges from highly technical image analysis and enhancement
of CCTV evidence to creative film making for public awareness videos. Our staff work in close-knit teams that make up the whole. These include crime-scene surveyors, CCTV analysts, forensic photographers, imaging officers, police artists, technicians, engineers and a team of clerical support.
