Abstract:

Intelligence Support Against Poaching (ISAP) recently held a course on how to handle a poaching scene correctly. The animal crime scene and evidence handling course took place from 16 to 19 July, and was presented by Wildlife Vets Namibia. Participants included veterinarians, lodge managers, wildlife farmers, members of crime prevention forums, hunting farm owners, students and representatives of the tourism industry. While participants received detailed information on the complexity of gathering evidence at a poaching scene, it was also stressed that they are not police officers or experts in collecting evidence. The main aim is to partner with the police and assist them by properly securing a crime scene and valuable evidence, according to ISAP.
