“The concept you arrived at Master Investigator is direct to the point and strikes the heart of every investigator. Critical thinking and situational awareness are the cores of the concept, which I believe to be the best foundation of strategic thinkers in solving crime problems.

The conceptual framework points out that one must be well versed on global issues and to align oneself on specific levels of skill in order to effectively solve crime problems and its complications. It elevates the Master Investigator in understanding the special, organized and transnational characteristics of international crimes. The cases-in-points were great values that explains critical thinking. You have shown how hybrid types of threats need hybrid types of solutions. You also well pointed out that, although software and technology maybe available for crime solving, one cannot disregard the power tools of the mind”

An important addition to this field

I think this paper is excellent and is an important addition to the field. I really like the conceptualization of the Intelligent Investigator as it illustrates the crucial role of “critical thinking” by being proactive and by expanding systematic knowledge and learning entity.

Similar to reflexive security that alleviates the security skills shortage paradox by promoting the idea of “hybrid domain-security experts”, HIM e-connect tools, workshops and virtual group meetings are enhancing the Critical Thinking qualities to pro-active experts and investigators who breaking silos, are highly conscious, familiar with the technology of today and being aware of consequent management.

A Master Investigator who understands and efficiently responds to the emerging risks and systemic vulnerabilities while remaining resilient, flexible, creative, empathetic and accountable decision-maker. The document’s added value reflects on the strong technical background of the author, the managerial capacities, the operational reflexives and the huge international experience in the field. A global issue for global stakeholders.
