##  Izabella Kakuja

###### 08 March 2022 | [Knoxville26](https://cbrneworld.com/index.php?option=com_tags&view=tag&id%5B0%5D=107:knoxville26), [Nitazene Workshop](https://cbrneworld.com/index.php?option=com_tags&view=tag&id%5B0%5D=113:nitazene-workshop)

I have been working for the Hungarian National Police as a crime scene investigator for 30 years. Initially, I worked on minor cases, then on high-profile cases, and finally, for the past 8 years, I have been working on developing procedures related to CBRN materials, and I participate in such cases as a crime scene investigator or as an expert. I participated in several foreign peacekeeping operations, I won't go into detail about them.

In 2025, I established the Hungarian CBRN crime scene investigator network, which I have been leading and training for since its inception. I am an UN IAEA experts, trainer and training developer in the field of RCSM.

In parallel, since 2018 I have been working as the international coordinator of the Hungarian DVI unit, including international exercises and trainings. During this time, I worked as the Hungarian delegate of the EC LEWP DVI network, and then in 2025 I was elected as the chair of the network, so I also hold the position of its chair.In addition to these activities, I have been participating in War Crime Investigation training courses as an instructor for the past 4 years. I am also a member of the ISO TC 272(Forensic Sciences) technical committee as the head of the Hungarian delegation.I have obtained 8 university degrees so far. The first is a doctorate in law. I will obtain my second doctoral degree (PhD), a military in engineering doctorate, if all goes well this year or early spring. The title of the dissertation is: Management of crime scenes contaminated with radioactive/nuclear materials.

I speak 3 languages ​​besides my native language.

My husband is also a police officer. We have two children, twins, who are now starting high school.
