This requires a significant amount of workplace learning and self-directed study. A Diploma in the Science of Fingerprints is awarded on successful completion of the programme. You will occasionally need to attend short block courses locally & work away from Wellington.

You may be required to participate in an on-call roster and the position could include weekend work and/or shifts.

Our Core Competencies provide a shared understanding of the behaviours, leadership and technical competence required for success at each level of Police. Whilst we are looking for skills, knowledge and experience relevant to the role, we also place high importance on your state of mind, the alignment of your values with ours, your ability to contribute to and build high performing teams, and the way that you lead yourself or others.

- Be medically fit with excellent eyesight (can wear corrective lenses)
- Have a practical aptitude for science and technical work
