Expert Witness Services by Delve Forensic
Deeply Experienced
With a combined 21 years of experience in policing and digital forensics, I have spent 10 years in front line policing and 7 years as a digital forensic analyst for the Police. Additionally, I have worked for 4 years as an independent consultant, specializing in serious crime investigations, including multiple murder cases. As an expert witness in the high court, I provide essential court material that supports forensic analysis. I also train detectives at the Royal New Zealand Police College and specialize in training Police staff for sensitive investigations, including operations with Police intelligence and NZSIS.
Rare Depth of Police Operational Insight
Insight - Understands police thinking, motivations, culture, and operational realities at a depth no civilian analyst can equal, enhancing the quality of forensic analysis. Rapid Independent Scrutiny - Quickly identifies evidential strengths, procedural flaws, disclosure gaps, and powerful cross-examination angles to create compelling court material. Decisive Case Advantage - Transforms those insights into strategic court material that elevates the impact of digital forensics beyond standard Police forensic output, positioning the expert witness to provide unparalleled support.
Your Advantage in Court
Single-minded focus — I work exclusively on your case, avoiding the competing priorities and bureaucracy that often impact Police analysts. With fresh, independent scrutiny, I regularly uncover crucial material that Police may have missed, misinterpreted, or failed to disclose. My court material stands a class above the rest, featuring innovative timelines, interactive exhibits, and crystal-clear reports that defense counsel truly appreciate. There is no conflict of interest, as I serve equally for prosecution or defense; my duty lies with the court, not any agency. When time is critical, I ensure a rapid turnaround. Whether dealing with urgent disclosure deadlines or late Police briefs, I can mobilize, analyze, and report findings within days, using my expertise in forensic analysis and digital forensics.
Technical Innovation
Bespoke Forensic Software Development - I build custom applications tailored to the needs of your case — tools that replicate or exceed capabilities normally reserved for Police laboratories. These solutions facilitate the creation of court material that stands up to scrutiny. See NetPulse on this site. Mastery of Complex Data - These applications tame thousands of records, call logs, messages, or financial transactions into interactive timelines and geospatial exhibits that reveal patterns invisible to standard Police analysis. By employing advanced digital forensics techniques, I enhance the forensic analysis process. Defence Insights Police Cannot See - By automating advanced analytics unavailable to Police examiners, I routinely uncover alternative interpretations, alibi evidence, and disclosure failures. As an expert witness, I provide powerful lines of defence that can change the outcome of trials.
