Introducing Olivia McIntyre from the DNA Management Section
What is the most interesting part of your job?
The dynamic nature of the field of forensic science means that technology is always changing.
I enjoy keeping myself across a range of emerging DNA technologies so that I can provide accurate advice to both the forensic and investigative personnel, doing my part to assist them in solving crimes through DNA identifications.
It is my passionate interest in this field that has kept me motivated since I joined the DNA Management Section 18 years ago.
I really enjoy coming to work knowing I have such an important role
