Background and experience
I am a police superintendent with first lecturer qualifications. I am thus a pracademic, where I have a background as an investigator/investigation manager in the police and as a subject developer/researcher within tactical investigation and report writing. I teach and supervise students at bachelor and master levels. My research interest is investigative methodology related to the management of investigation, investigative interviewing, report writing based on the investigation steps carried out, as well as legal certainty related to investigation. I have been an author of textbooks for the last 15-25 years.
