Abstract
This book remains the essential reference for officers responsible for leading serious, major, and organised crime investigations. It provides step-by-step, easy-to-understand guidance on all the necessary considerations, procedures, and processes for a Senior Investigating Officer (SIO), whether performing the role at the very outset of an investigation or at the more advanced stages. Chapters cover all major aspects of investigative practice, including the initial response, investigative strategies, Policy Logs, victim and family liaison, community management, media engagement, and the management of suspects, witnesses, and TIE (Trace, Investigate, and Evaluate) enquiries. There are comprehensive chapters on homicide investigations, suspicious child deaths, and missing person enquiries. Clear checklists, key points, and real case studies help explain why procedures matter and how to apply them effectively in real‑world settings. The seventh edition has been fully updated and refreshed throughout to reflect current procedure and emerging investigative challenges. New and revised content addresses the growing impact of cybercrime and artificial intelligence on investigative practice, incorporates learning from recent public inquiries, and includes updated guidance required by the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024. Chapters have also been expanded where practice has evolved, including updated material on briefing the media and handling press interviews. Whether you conduct, review, or take a professional interest in serious and major crime investigation, this title will be an invaluable resource.
