Tracking Forensics is the global leader in Forensic Hoplology and Spoorology, which is the study, practice, and instruction in these two main scientific areas: (1) mantracking forensics (human analysis on behavior, gait footfall sequencing, and footprint diagnostics) and (2) human combative behavior forensics (human analysis on combative application, performance, aggression, fighting style psychology, weapon use diagnostics and employment).

We specialize, therefore, in our own unique and proven hoplological system as well as instructional methodology which enhances our system exponentially. In teaching dismounted and mounted individual and team capabilities to enhance various operational missions as applied professionally for almost four decades by our director and chief tracker, Capt. Tyron J. (Ty) Cunningham, we affirm are success to be both client-centered and mission relevant.

Tracking Forensics has researched and developed innovative forensic modalities in our three core competencies and enabler skills which have application in military site exploitation and law enforcement crime scene situations. Using these highly effective techniques, Tracking Forensics-trained personnel have excelled in all operational areas where fieldcraft and forensic needs are paramount to mission success. Tracking Forensics is committed to providing the highest level of professional services to our clients.

OBJECTIVE

With our official founding in 1988, we have provided tracking application services and instruction to make them useful in real-time military and police operational employment. The forensic analysis and instruction that is provided by Tracking Forensics includes effective applications in scout combatives and firearms; survival fieldcraft in multiple world scenarios; and mantracking. Our services include forensic analysis and consultation, design and implementation of application systems, training, and support.

Tracking Forensics is built on the assumption that the management of usable mantracking, practical survival, and dependable scout combat strategies and applications for professionals is like legal advice, accounting, graphic arts, and other bodies of knowledge, in that it is not inherently a do-it-yourself prospect. Smart professionals who aren't fieldcraft savvy need to find quality vendors of reliable skills, service, and support. They need to use these quality vendors as they use their other professional service suppliers...as trusted allies. Tracking Forensics seeks to fulfill these needs and become the leader in forensic hoplology and spoorology, thus professional tracking, survival, and defense applications.

Tracking Forensics is such a vendor. It serves its clients as a trusted ally, providing them with the loyalty of a business partner and the economics of an outside vendor. We make sure that our clients have what they need with maximum efficiency and reliability. Many of our forensic and martial applications are mission critical, so we give our clients the assurance that we will be there when they need us.

The only way we can hope to differentiate well is to define the vision of Tracking Forensics to be a practical training and forensic use ally to our clients. We will not be able to compete in any effective way with the chains of training stamp organizations that provide these services emphasizing non-mission specific applications. We offer a real alliance that includes such intangibles as confidence, reliability, and knowing that somebody will be there to consult, train, and when necessary, deploy with real world mission proven analysis and applications.

VISION

Tracking Forensics lives to observe, classify, and interpret the most difficult of footprint reconstruction assignments.

MISSION

Tracking Forensics is committed to supporting those who-by duty-put themselves in harms way. We dedicate ourselves to support and train men and women both in and out of uniform to the standards of effective and efficient forensic analysis and applications theory in support of the U.S. policy on terrorism and violent crime. We dedicate the most up-to-date methodologies and practices that will enhance the safety of America and those who do not have the skills to defend themselves. We honor the laws of the land that make men free and the voice of the people from which law stems.

We commit to all two things; “that our training will prepare you for the inevitabilities of the future and our forensic analysis in our specialties will be scientifically reliable and valid." There will be no need-that will not be explored, no cause-that will not be sustained and no free people-that will not be protected and enhanced. To our mission, the vision-WE LIVE TO OBSERVE, CLASSIFY, AND INTERPRET ANY RECONSTRUCTION OF FOOTPRINT EVIDENCE-to our vision, the core values-COMPETENCE, EFFICIENCY, EXECUTION, TEAM-and to our ethics-TO LIVE AND ACT WITH HONOR IN TRACKING.

CORE VALUES
