The approach
Evidence-based and independent
Christine is not anti-police and does not automatically advocate for either side. Her work evaluates the evidence, the investigation, police practices, documentation, and the applicable professional standards.
The goal is clarity: an objective, well-documented assessment of what was done, what was not, and how it measures against recognized standards — so decision-makers can rely on the analysis.
Objective
Findings follow the evidence, not a predetermined outcome.
Standards-based
Analysis measured against recognized professional practices.
Thoroughly documented
Clear, defensible reasoning that stands up to scrutiny.
