This week on The Crime Scene Insiders, we’re joined by Lindsy Slamon as she reflects on her remarkable 20+ year career across roles as a Crime Scene Investigator, manager, and coordinator. From gripping cases—including the high-profile Dale Cregan investigation—to the unforgettable moments that kept her on her toes, Lindsay shares stories that are equal parts fascinating and entertaining.

Now transitioning into policing education, she inspires the next generation with her wealth of experience, offering insights, humour, and hard-earned lessons from a career spent behind the tape.

This week on The Crime Scene Insiders we’re joined by Anthony Schembri - aka “The Commish.”

Anthony’s career is nothing short of extraordinary! From typing DA reports in Brooklyn at just 16, to leading homicide units, becoming a Police Commissioner in New York, overhauling Toronto’s jail system, and running Florida’s juvenile justice system. Along the way he’s also taught, trained and inspired the next generation. He's even the real-life inspiration behind the 90s TV series 'The Commish'.

In this episode, Anthony shares his experiences with humour, honesty, and a storyteller’s flair. We laughed so much recording this one that our cheeks actually hurt — and we think you’ll be laughing along too.

In this episode of Crime Scene Insiders, we open up about our own struggles with mental health and the impact of working as Crime Scene Investigators (CSI).

From shocking crime scenes to the moments that never leave you, we share the side of CSI work that doesn’t make it onto TV. We discuss the cases that turned our stomachs, the emotional weight of dealing with victims and their families, and the coping mechanisms that helped us survive life on the frontline.

We also talk honestly about stigma — why asking for help used to feel impossible, and how attitudes towards mental health in policing and forensics are finally starting to change.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like behind the scenes of CSI work — or you’ve faced your own battles with mental health — this episode is for you.
