In 1989 David moved to Northamptonshire Police where he was a Scenes of Crime Officer undertaking scene examinations of all types.  Towards the end of 1989 and as a result of a National review into the closure of the old Regional Fingerprint Bureau, there followed the creation of ‘Local’ Bureau where David was offered the position of Head - Fingerprint Bureau.  During the next few years, the first linked AFIS system was installed in 34 Polices Forces throughout the UK which enabled cross border searching for the first time.  The system database for this AFIS was based just outside of Seattle in USA and gave David the opportunity to work there for a number of months.

David has ‘project managed’ the installation of both NAFIS and Livescan into Northamptonshire Police and also the redesign and build of the Fingerprint Development Laboratory.

David lectures at a major University and undertakes training for a well known forensic equipment manufacturer. David also acts as a Consultant for United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) on forensic matters and is currently working with them on a project in Nigeria.
