Police Search Advisors

Police Search Advisors (POLSA) are specialist officers within West Yorkshire Police major crime investigations. They conduct and advise on detailed property searches at suspect homes and crime scenes, partnering with Scenes of Crime Officers to maximize forensic evidence recovery. Methodical teams, they ensure sites deliver critical yields in homicide and abduction cases before handover to uniform officers for security. Andy Shepherd and other detectives rely on their thorough work to confirm suspect involvement and advance stalled probes.
