JO MILLINGTON
Lead BPA Scientist / Trainer
I have been working as a forensic scientist for more than 25 years and over that time have collaborated with a wide range of practitioners across the criminal justice system. I now work independently as a forensic science consultant.
​
This is my day job.
​
My specialism and strength is in Blood Pattern Analysis (BPA). I have been fortunate to deliver training all over the world for professionals and enthusiasts alike. I completed my initial BPA training with Miami Dade Police, Florida and set up Spattered Ltd in 2020.
This is my dream job.
​
I am pro-STEM and pro-collaboration and undertake activities that contribute to education and social justice. I also conduct pro-bono work including in my capacity as a member of the Advisory Panel of Inside Justice.
This is my passion.
