I began my career in 1988 based at New Scotland Yard, London
and after 5 years training, I qualified as a fingerprint expert and forensic
crime scene specialist. After 18 years’ service at NSY I joined the NZ Police
Service for over 13 years
I have performed many roles including Borough Forensic
Manager, Senior Forensic Practitioner and Senior Laboratory Manager throughout
London and here within New Zealand.
I have attended and
examined hundreds of murders and serious crime scenes and thousands of many
other crime types. I am also a qualified Disaster Victim Identification Expert
dealing with mass death events including the Boxing Day Thai Tsunami and
Christchurch Earthquake.
I am the owner of Forensic Insight Ltd and a facilitator for
the Ministry of Education taking forensic science to the schools and colleges
of New Zealand. I am also an independent fingerprint expert and specialist
crime scene examiner consulting for The Forensic Group Ltd providing impartial
advice to the courts throughout New Zealand and overseas.
