Abstract:
This article will describe the processes involved in developing the first pan-European multi-disciplinary forensic Collaborative Exercise (CE), focusing on the concepts, planning, design, preparation, implementation, co-ordination and evaluation of the CE. The results of this project demonstrate that it is feasible to develop and run a multi-discipline forensic Collaborative Exercise with results that can help to develop best practice and procedures for examining threatening letters in the future.
