3. police and forensic governance, particularly issues relating to personnel selection and training, as well as performance evaluation.

In addition to his PhD, Vincent completed two postdoctoral appointments within the Centre for Forensic Science at the University of Technology Sydney (Australia) and the Canada Research Chair in Comparative Public Management at École nationale d'administration publique (Canada). He holds a master’s degree in criminology and criminalistics and a bachelor’s degree in forensic chemistry.
