Major Player
We have played a major role in some of the most serious and complex criminal investigations in this country, and our experts are well-versed in finding, recovering, analysing and interpreting forensic evidence many years after a crime occurred, and after items have been examined by other forensic science providers.
The Latest Forensic Techniques
We have access to the very latest forensic techniques – such as obtaining DNA profiles where it has previously not been possible, giving a significant increase in the likelihood of obtaining a useful profile from extremely small amounts of cellular material.
Our Experts
Our experts, who are accustomed to giving evidence in court and undergoing rigorous cross-examination, can offer advice on the likelihood of obtaining meaningful results from old or challenging material.
In some circumstances, it may be possible for them to re-examine and re-sample exhibits from historic crime scenes, sometimes years after the crime.
We provide valuable input into forensic strategy and support the investigation through all stages with advice, consultation and updates.
