He went from attending crime scenes… to leading the teams behind them.

In this episode of The Crime Scene Insiders, we’re joined by Peter Hunter — a former Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) who is now Head of Forensics at Staffordshire Police.

We started our CSI journey with Pete back in 2008, and in this episode we explore how a career in forensics really evolves — including what it’s like when you go from attending scenes… to leading the people who do.

We cover first scenes, early mistakes, differences between police forces, and the reality of working in crime scene investigation in the UK.

Plus, Pete talks us through one of his first complex murder investigations, and how forensic evidence helped piece together what really happened.

If you’re interested in true crime, forensics, or what really happens behind the barrier tape — this episode is for you.
