Ep. 04 Making the Switch: Tips for Changing Agencies as a Death Investigator with David Knoepffler
David will shed some light on the fascinating differences between two prominent agencies as a Forensic Death Investigator this week on the Forensics Found Podcast. With Harris and Montgomery Counties in Texas each offering their own unique working environment, David points out what makes a huge difference for those working in death investigation, including mental health support and language proficiencies. His experience of being the only bilingual death investigator within Harris County gives him an insight into how beneficial Spanish-speaking skills are in providing closure to grieving families.
Few cases can affect investigators as much as the one David describes in this episode. Take the case of a man who suffered the devastating loss of three family members in an accident; this was an emotionally charged situation and David focused on supporting the man while getting his job done. No matter how hardened you may be after years in death investigation, it's clear that there are some cases that never fully leave your mind. Those stories stay with us forever, teaching us empathy for those touched by tragedy.
This episode sheds light on the issues Death Investigators face. You will learn some applicable skills and valuable takeaways! Listen in to find out how to handle a hard case, successfully transition through changing job locations, and gain an understanding of what to keep an eye out for when considering new roles.
