A Unique Approach to a Crime Gun Intelligence Center with the Inclusion and Support of 3D Virtual Comparison Technologies
The Phoenix Police Department (PPD) made a department-wide cultural change in evidence handling, screening, and processing strategies in support of Crime Gun Intelligence Center goals. In addition, the Firearms Section of the PPD Crime Laboratory has validated and implemented a 3D topographical Virtual Comparison Microscopy (VCM) system. The presenters will discuss how the addition of 3D VCM technology in the laboratory and the incorporation of 3D technologies into the NIBIN system has bolstered their ability to provide the best results possible to our customers.
This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on February 10, 2022.
