Forensic Ecology: A unique weapon in the forensic armoury

Over the last twenty-five years or more Forensic Ecology has contributed greatly in criminal investigations where DNA studies, and other more conventional analytical methods, fail to help enquiries. Frequently, the natural sciences provide the only forensic evidence in a criminal investigation. Like all biological studies, findings are probabilistic but the complexity, yet clarity, of results invariably obviate the need for statistical analysis. An outline of the approaches used in criminal investigations will be given, with case histories to demonstrate how intelligence and evidence obtained from plants, fungi, animals, and soils have helped to solve crime.

PD Kesy will show her skills in these fields and the controlled manner that she carries out her role.

    Drug Detection Dogs

    This demonstration will show the types of searches that our Specialist Drugs Dogs carry out in support of the Police teams we work with. The two will show DDD Stanley carrying out Passive scanning of a group of volunteers and then DDD Nell will proactively search an area where a firearm has been concealed. The two searches show the different disciplines that the dogs are taught and use when on operations. The types of dogs shown here today are typical of the breeds used across the world by Police, Military and other Government Agencies. 

    Explosive Detection Dogs

    This demonstration will show EDD Riley carry out a PROACTIVE search of an area and a PASSIVE SCAN of luggage and person which shows the two types of search method used. The EDD Teams are taught a Safe Systematics Search Pattern and are trained on both Relevant and Historical substances which could be Homemade or Commercial. The demonstration will show the search and the indication on the specific position of the explosive device. The searches are always carried out with the support of specialist units, EOD or Firearms that would take over on a successful indication.
