During 2019 the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) Forensic Services Team trialled the Feel the Warmth heat belts.
Our Scene Examination staff, who work outwith the office, used the heat belts and noticed that they were able to work outside more comfortably for longer periods of time particularly maintaining heat in their hands and feet. Staff reported generally felt better at the end of a shift with less stress on their body as a result of not feeling cold.
On the strength of this trial SPA Forensic Service purchased heat belts for all scene attending staff.
