Applications
Crime scene investigation
Map scenes with quantifiable, repeatable data. The truth is in the data.
Trimble forensic solutions combine reliable hardware with powerful field and office software to efficiently and accurately collect critical, detailed evidence at virtually any scene. The end result: analysis that will hold up at trial.
Homicide
Tell the real story
At a homicide crime scene, any feature or object within the scene could be key evidence, so it’s critical that officers and investigators capture the evidence completely to maintain scene integrity and reduce the risk of evidence contamination.
With Trimble Forensics Reveal software, you can create 2D diagrams and 3D models to place anyone at the virtual crime scene and tell the real story in court, concisely and clearly.
Mass casualty events
Simplify the chaos
In the chaotic aftermath of a mass casualty event, Trimble forensic solutions provide police administration with real-time decision-making capability.
Time is of the essence, and the need for answers is immediate. Crime scenes are complex and may encompass a large area, requiring a diverse set of instruments and software capabilities.
Have the confidence to capture and analyze the scene in its entirety, using the right tools that work together, just like your team.
Officer-involved shootings
An unbiased investigative approach
The accuracy and completeness of officer-involved shooting investigations can have a significant impact on involved officers and the community, demanding a comprehensive and complete investigation.
With Trimble forensic technology on scene, you can document all physical evidence in minutes and analyze that data in detail to accurately recreate the chain of events. The result is unbiased information that will hold up under careful scrutiny.
Collision reconstruction
Clear the crash. Get the answers.
Acquire incident data efficiently, clear crash scenes quickly, and reduce disruptions, costs and safety risks to personnel.
Trimble forensic solutions are trusted by public safety professionals to provide dependable, definitive data. Our technology lets you rapidly and safely collect the data you need to clear crash scenes quickly while providing the analytical tools to present the facts of an incident with confidence.
Rollover analysis
A holistic view of crashes
For occupant ejection and rollover crashes, it’s the little things that point back to who-sat-where. A clothing swipe on a dusty body panel could be the key to determining who was driving, and you want to ensure you can document it.
Trimble forensic solutions provide you with the unique ability to fully visualize your data in the field to make sure you capture everything. No more hoping or waiting to discover if you captured what you need.
Time-distance analysis
Getting answers for victims
Speed is a critical factor in incidents involving cars and pedestrians. Not only is determining the speed of the vehicle involved essential, it’s equally crucial to rapidly record and document on-scene evidence while it’s fresh—even in punishing conditions. That shoe scuff is not going to be there tomorrow, which means the data must be captured quickly to ensure the area of impact will never be in doubt when the case goes to trial.
UAV scene mapping
The view from all sides
In a job that demands that officers and investigators be ready for any possible scenario, dependable technology is vital. Trimble technology includes simple, easy-to-use solutions to give UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) mapping tools the repeatability and validity needed for forensic applications.
With Trimble, you can map an entire incident scene from the ground while a UAV collects contextual and perishable evidence from above, all without disruptions to the scene. The result is a seamless process that provides the versatility and confidence to respond to any incident, and the 3D view to investigate it thoroughly.
