I don’t, no, but members of my institute work a lot with different industries such as national rail, power companies and water companies to model flooding for different scenarios, for example, if a new rail line was to be built!

I don’t normally, but I have been involved in some of the exercises that the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (the police force for any nuclear site) have put on at the site, which were really interesting. As I’m a part of the Environment, Health, Safety, Security and Quality team, a lot of my colleagues work with all three emergency services!

Chloe commented on :
I do not work with the police but there are environmental scientists that do. I work with someone that trains the emergency services in how to respond to flood events and how to safely rescue people in flood waters. Other people I have worked with predict where flooding will occur and then work with the police to shut roads or evacuate buildings

Other people in my PhD group work with explosives, and they had a project where they had to buy ingredients bought from Amazon/eBay and try to make them in a saucepan! It was to help the police know whether they could be made successfully in someones home, and if there should be watch lists for people buying those chemicals.
They also looked for other things you could add to stop it working, and then those could be added to the chemicals before they were sold (this is called denaturing — it’s done with ethanol do nobody tries to steal it to drink it!).

Yes, I did when I was doing my undergraduate. I did my industrial attachment with the Royal Malaysia Police, for CSI/Forensic Unit. So I did assist the police officers for the real crime scenes. It was very precious moments I ever had.
Jessica commented on :
I don’t, no, but some of the techniques I use in my research are the same ones used as forensic scientists to help solve crimes!

Unfortunately wildlife crime and persecution of birds of prey is something I come across in my job, in which case I work with local police and investigations teams.
