IBF Investigations - recent events
|
|
Since 1999, Stan and Jackie has been fortunate enough to visit many countries in their quest for perfection. Sometimes for further education and often for the investigation of accidents, IBF Investigations has been very widely represented outside of the borders of Southg Africa. Although the legal systems, at-scene protocols, procedures and recording mechanisms are different, the IBF Investigations investigation model has proven to be effective as a system that can withstand the scrutiny of international differences. These images are then a reminder of some of the beautiful places Stan and Jackie has seen - outside of the shores of South Africa - on their path towards establishing IBF Investigations as the leader in their field and the de facto standard in private forensic investigation. We are proud of our achievements and we love to travel abroad.

These images are included as a reminder of all the commitments, successes, trials, tribulations and advancements Stan and Jackie endured and enjoyed as IBF Investigations grew from a small, new business to where it is now - a brand synonymous with quality, expertise and integrity. These are the true highlights and land-mark moments in Stan and Jackie's history with IBF Investigations, from its humble beginnings as Millennium Solutions through its current status as the standard in Forensic Collision Homicide Investigation and Reconstruction. Over the years, Stan and Jackie has seen many horrible accidents and this experience has tempered them to the point where they are capable of investigating scenes while having no emotional connection to the prevailing visuals. They are now truly capable of consistently gathering "all the evidence" without distraction. |
People are sometimes strange. We have been approached so many times, and asked if we can show people "horrific images." People tend to want to see death, carnage and misery. While we fully understand this, we will not ever disrespect the memory of the victims of road traffic collisions by creating a forum for perversion, based on the suffering of their lovwed ones. For this reason, the images contained below are exclusively limited to those that could bring value and education to the visitors of our web site. Some are surprising, others shocking and yet others thought-provoking. While the intent of these images is nothing other than to educate, we have also limited the number of images displayed here in our galleries in the interest of taste and out of respect for accident victims. This gallery is not intended to be a "show of horrors," although it can surely educate and inform. |
