What our investigators do:
Inform
Our investigations team receives intelligence through various channels, including our confidential Animal Crimewatch hotline. This resource allows them to gather detailed information such as:
- Type of cruel sport report
- Location of cruelty
- Date of event
- Source of information Photo/Videos
Plan and prepare
Without detailed planning and preparation, our chances of being able to record illegal cruel fighting activity decreases significantly. Each team must:
- Conduct a risk assessment
- Plan the route to be taken in the field
- Test equipment
- Plan meeting places
Investigate
Investigating can be dangerous as it involves spending long hours observing the perpetrators.
To successfully capture the footage requires the investigating team:
- Prepare surveillance equipment
- Physical evidence is vital in prosecuting perpetrators
- Duplicate any footage to avoid losing evidence through corruption of theft
Prosecute
To ensure a thorough case report is presented, the investigators:
- Compile detailed maps, identification documents and timings of said incident
- Duplicate the original SD cards and seal them in exhibit bags to prevent corruption
- Hand over the file to the prosecuting body, safeguarding the file
