Areas of expertise

Named capabilities, defined operational purpose.

Each field is considered against legal mandates, threat and hazard profiles, current procedures, available technology and intended evidential outcomes.

01

TSM & Advanced CSI

Command architecture, scene strategy, prioritised recovery, documentation, reconstruction, continuity and traceable decisions across the scene-to-court pathway.

02

CBRN Forensics & RCSM

Hazard-aware crime-scene work in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear environments: zoning, PPE, measurement, contamination control, sampling and packaging.

Read the field note →
03

DVI & major-incident medical interfaces

Mass-casualty medical management, scene recovery, post-mortem, ante-mortem and reconciliation interfaces informed by established MIMMS principles and DVI systems; no ALSG MIMMS course or certification is provided.

05

Clandestine Drug Laboratories

Detection, chemical-risk assessment, process documentation, sampling, dismantling support and evidence continuity in illicit synthetic-drug production sites.

Read the field note →
06

Forensic Technology Integration

Radar-based detection and survey, UAV imaging, 3D laser scanning, Raman spectroscopy, Rapid DNA and digital scene data integrated with validated forensic workflows.

Knowledge cycle

From operational observation to transferable knowledge.

Knowledge map

Research and practice fields connected by TSM.

These fields define the platform’s research, publication and professional knowledge-transfer agenda. Each is examined in its own right and through the command, safety, evidential and inter-agency interfaces that connect the full operational chain.

TVI — Terror Victim Identification

TVI examines how terrorist-scene command, DVI, CSI, CBRN and time-critical investigative priorities can be connected without compromising formal identification or evidential continuity.

TVI is an unpublished concept under development. It is not a validated or formally adopted standard and does not replace INTERPOL DVI terminology or national procedures.

The views and materials presented are professional and academic in nature. References to organisations describe relevant experience and do not imply institutional endorsement. No classified, operationally sensitive or case-specific information is published.
