Broward Sheriff's Crime Scene Technology Beats the Clock

摘要

As soon as investigators get to a crime scene, the clock starts ticking. Fingerprints, blood spatter, weapons and other clues await. Every minute counts. But it can take hours to find that evidence, drive it to a lab for analysis and wait for the results, all while the trail to the perpetrator gets cold. So the crime scene unit from Broward Sheriff's Office found a faster way.rnUsing new technology developed in-house, BSO has become the first agency to transfer and download secured, real-time digital images and data files directly from crime scenes. That means a fingerprint could be linked to a suspect or reveal a victim's identity before the crime scene tape is down. Detectives can instantly compare notes with agencies nationwide using high-quality photos, fingerprints, diagrams and other information.
