Crime Scene Management
Crime scene management begins the moment an incident occurs. The public and first responders play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity of the scene. While advanced forensic technology can analyze evidence in remarkable detail, the value of such analysis is quickly lost if the crime scene is not properly preserved from the outset. Even the slightest disturbance to evidence—whether visible or microscopic—can compromise its use in court.
DNA – Our Unique Blueprint
DNA and fingerprints are unique to each individual, much like a signature that cannot be faked. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is often described as the “blue print of life,” because it contains all the information that an organism requires to function and for
reproduction. Each molecule contains a
genetic code that is specific to one person, except in the case of identical twins.
THE TRACKS THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND
Fingerprints are a highly reliable method of identifying people. They are used in the
process of obtaining identity documents and
passports; providing biometric security
(such as access control to secure areas or systems); identifying unknown deceased persons; and playing a crucial role in criminal investigations by confirming or disproving a person’s identity.
