| description | The Proactive Crime Scene Response is a technique utilizing targeted forensic analytical results to guide criminal investigations in real time. Analytical value of evidence maximized by forensic laboratories is directly related to the recognition, documentation, collection, and preservation of evidentiary items located at the crime scene. Improved education, coordination and communication between the crime scene investigators and forensic scientist experts creates a seamless analytical process flow, enabling greater focus on high value evidence with decreased response time and greater impact on investigational direction. Real time data from focused forensic analyses and use of databases provides primary investigative leads, with suspect identities, whereabouts at the time of crime commission, links to other crimes and other critical collaborative crime solving information. Case examples highlighting successful application of various aspects of this model will be provided, with recommendations for implementation including Rapid DNA and supporting business cases. |
