The Department of Police and Emergency Management (DPFEM) has established the Forensic Systems Upgrade Project to achieve 2 key outcomes:

1. Upgrade the department’s existing Forensic Register system in use by Tasmania Police’s Forensic Services, to the contemporary, cloud-based version of the product; and
2. Extend the use of the Forensic Register to forensic laboratory testing undertaken by Forensic Science Service Tasmania (FSST).

To achieve the extension of the Forensic Register system, the existing in-house developed Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) will be decommissioned. This will require the development of a data migration strategy to support the migration of the existing LIMS data to the new Forensic Register system.

DPFEM are seeking the services of a highly skilled data quality assessment specialist to assist in understanding the quality of the existing LIMS data, understand the level of cleansing/transformation required to support migration to Forensic Register and what, if any, data may require an alternative approach for maintaining accessibility.  This engagement may include the commencement of data mapping.
