In our final episode, our guest has spent the last 40 years working in one of the most specialised areas of policing and one of the most familiar to crime drama fans.

Now one of Counter Terrorism Policing’s most senior forensics experts, she's honed her skills investigating crime scenes across the UK and, as she describes it, giving voice to those who no longer have one.

Her entry into policing wasn't easy. As the daughter of a miner, she spent a long time hiding what she did for a living.

Could you do Cassandra’s job? We are always looking for people to join our team and our mission to protect the public from terrorism.

With 43 late-stage terror attacks stopped since 2017, the need to recruit incredible people has never been greater.

You can find current vacancies here, and on your local police force website.
