Mementos of some of my Conservation Oriented Policing Skills (COPS) training. Basic policing techniques. 13 countries. 2 languages. 600 officers. No faff. No fluff.

@SkyNews @SkyNewsBreak Are any of your panel who were covering the Coronation going to apologise for openly mocking the Pacific Island country of Tuvalu??? You should be utterly ashamed to call yourselves journalists - jingoistic, colonialist and racist.

Grateful for the generosity of @Curious4Nature @conservationcop @Benji_Barca @tessaiull who allowed us @OTEConservation to use their pangolin footage free of charge! This footage was used as part of Eric the Pangolin's YouTube vlog https://t.co/djDSkWk3va

[WCS Congo @wcs_congo]

26 #ecoguards from North #Congo protected areas received an intensive training course on policing techniques (encountering a crime scene, seizing illegal contraband, etc), delivered by WCS Counter-Trafficking Advisor, Christian Plowman @conservationcop #antipoaching #conservation

[WCS Congo @wcs_congo]

Christian explained “The training teaches these frontline officers the basic tenets of #HumanRights and legal protocols around preserving and maintaining the integrity of evidence to enable a successful prosecution” #StandForWildlife #wildlife #wildlifeconservation

[Christian @conservationcop]

@WildCrimePro This is a practise I constantly rail against. Correct processing of evidence and subsequent presentation at court do NOT require suspects to be photographed holding evidence - aside from forensic and ethical issues.

In June 2020, the Appeal Court of Tanzania quashed the conviction of Boniface Malyango aka "Shetani". The story leading to arrest was captured in the Netflix documentary, "The Ivory Game". Strong circumstantial evidence indicates this case was corrupted. https://t.co/pKVaopsU6H

@metpoliceuk Surely a vulnerable individual being exploited via 'firearms cuckooing'? It's great that you got guns off the street, and kudos to the investigators, but is there more to this story - the guns and the individuals behind them should be the story, not his guy.

[Christian @conservationcop]

@seejafrica An excellent example of transnational and multiagency cooperation. Good work by all agencies involved. Please be very careful about your use of certain pieces of information in your article, as they may compromise ongoing investigations by other NGOs. Thanks!

Apparently, there is no presumption of innocence, or prosecution in the UK anymore.....it's simply a direct conviction!!

@Cshepherd7R I'm sure some fine work was done, as long as we remember that it's detecting people, not product, which will impact the trade!

@VeryHelpers Order still not arrived. Waiting for 57 years for someone to speak to me on the phone is not an option. Nor is trying to negotiate a messagebot in the chat. Please can someone DM me re my missing order. Thanks.

[Christian @conservationcop]

@nkwoolley Assume also there were substantial inputs on evidence and intelligence management, op planning, and building investigative strategies for a successful prosecution too? Or was it just mil-skills? You need a MIX of green and blue training. Not just green!
