murders, Gallop has been commissioned to investigate other kinds of criminal cases, including suspected incest, rapes, war crimes, and bestiality; in a particularly unusual case, she confirmed the presence of boar sperm in the abdomen of a man hospitalised with a punctured colon and peritonitis. She has also worked on the investigations of alleged alien abductions. Axiom International and beyond In 2010, Gallop helped found Axiom International, which provides forensic and related advice to law enforcement agencies worldwide. She is the firm's chief executive. She has since worked in Libya, Iraq, Somaliland, and Kosovo. To Gallop's dismay, the UK government closed the FSS in 2012 to save funds. According to Irish forensic scientist Niamh Nic Daéid, "some people in the business" blame Gallop for the demise of the FSS because she started a competing commercial alternative to it, but he thinks such conclusions are "a bit unfair". In Gallop's view, the FSS should have been "modernised and made properly commercial" rather than closed. In late 2021, Gallop met John Actie, one of five black and mixed-race men who had been wrongly accused of the murder of Lynette White. He had spent two years in prison when Gallop's findings proved his innocence. This was her first meeting with someone she helped exonerate and was filmed for a Channel 5 documentary. Gallop has reduced her involvement in frontline forensic work but has expressed an interest in taking on plenty of cold cases, including the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Other ventures Gallop started writing to record her life's work and to highlight the lack of funding and recognition for forensic scientists. She detailed her early cases in a 2019 book titled When the Dogs Don’t Bark. A second book, How to Solve a Crime, came out in early 2022. She is careful about what she puts in her books and said that the inclusion of certain revealing elements of forensic technique "would make our job a lot more difficult". Gallop is a visiting professor at the University of Strathclyde. Awards and honours Between 2001 and 2004, Gallop was president of the Forensic Science Society and in 2011 was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) by Nottingham Trent University, in recognition of her contribution to national and international forensic science in the support of justice. Gallop has served on the Independent Police Commission, chaired by Lord Stevens. Gallop was made Commander
