Jon Marsden is a Detective Superintendent working on secondment to UK DVI (Disaster Victim Identification) from his home force of Warwickshire Police.  He has 28 years service, 22 of which were spent in his previous local force, West Mercia.  Jon is an experienced PiP3 and PiP 4 Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) having spent many years within homicide commands and at various ranks.  He is a long-standing member of the Homicide Working Group (HWG) supporting the lead Chief Constable Kate Meynell, specifically around Coronial matters but also in all facets of investigative work across policing.    Jon took an interest in Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) when seeing a recruitment advert for certain roles within force.  In 2018 Jon was trained as a Senior Identification Manager (SIM).  In addition, he undertook DVI foundation level training to ensure awareness and understanding of the core roles that officers/staff undertake when deployed.  Jon is a passionate supporter of the DVI community and is a firm believer that communication and a group of experienced contacts make difficult circumstances/events that little bit easier to manage.    Whilst in force Jon ensured that his local force/region was as prepared as could be for mass disaster events by taking on the lead SIM role.  As part of this he committed to training events to share his knowledge/learning.    In September 2021 Jon applied for and secured the role as national co-ordinator for UKDV
