magnetometers, to detect concealed targets (for example: homicide
graves, drugs, or weapons) as part of criminal investigations. The
respondents will give insight on who performed the geophysical surveys,

used to understand practical uses of geophysical methods for law
enforcement investigations.

than 100 individuals completing the questionnaire. On average we expect
an average of 10-15 minutes to complete the survey.
