Dr. Angus Dalley develops tools to assist law enforcement officers, including data collection for crime resolution. These tools have been instrumental in changing the way policy and programs have been developed, as well as the approaches to criminal investigation. He introduced the concept of probability theory as applied to evidence used in criminal trials. He also participated in the development and implementation of the justice model for the new territory of Nunavuk.
Most of his career Dalley has worked with the corporate management section of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, developing and implementing “best” practices. However, in the latter part of his career, he has been involved with issues related to the aboriginal peoples in Canada, including self-governance as it pertains to law enforcement.
Dalley holds a Ph.D. in criminology from Florida State University. His knowledge base was gained from both formal education and practical law enforcement experiences.
He has taught at the university and college level throughout his career. His current consultant work involves research undertakings targeting street-involved children and youth, and “Stay in School” strategies for aboriginal youth.
He has published numerous articles, government papers and research studies on justice, as well as aboriginal issues. He has a keen interest in seeing that the justice system serves people fairly and equally.
