The National Forensics Bureau recently acquired ForenScope’s advanced forensic imaging systems. From September 30th to October 2nd, 2024, ForenScope participated in the National Forensics Bureau Training in Tbilisi, Georgia. This event focused on equipping forensic professionals with the skills to harness these cutting-edge technologies, ensuring no key evidence is ever overlooked. The training highlighted how ForenScope systems are transforming law enforcement and forensic investigations, setting new standards for precision and innovation.
Driving Innovation in Forensic Science
During the training sessions, ForenScope introduced advanced technologies designed to address the challenges faced by forensic professionals in the field. The attendees, comprising forensic investigators and law enforcement officers, were able to explore how these systems redefine evidence analysis with unparalleled precision and efficiency.
Key systems demonstrated included:
- Contactless LAB ULTRA: A revolutionary device for chemical-free fingerprint detection on reflective and curved surfaces, equipped with multispectral coaxial imaging technology and a 32.5 MP HD camera for capturing intricate details.
- Contactless LITE: Offering 100% contactless fingerprint detection with a versatile light source, ideal for non-destructive analysis.
- T-65 ALS-2 and Pocket Power: Advanced ALS devices designed for portable, precise evidence detection, with features like long battery life and wireless integration.
- 8K Latent Fingerprint Detection System: Featuring multispectral technology and a 45.9 MP UV-VIS-IR camera, capable of identifying the faintest fingerprints across complex surfaces.
Hands-On Engagement and Real-World Applications
The training emphasized interactive learning, with participants engaging in hands-on demonstrations of ForenScope’s systems. These sessions allowed attendees to analyze latent fingerprints, detect fibers, and enhance evidence clarity using advanced tools.
A highlight of the event was the discussion of a specific forensic challenge in Georgia, detecting fingerprints on a gold-colored figurine, which standard methods failed to resolve. ForenScope’s systems demonstrated how advanced imaging techniques could enhance surface contrast to uncover critical evidence.
Collaborative Learning and Feedback
Throughout the training, participants actively engaged in panel discussions and Q&A sessions, addressing key questions such as:
- Can forensic imaging systems detect fingerprints on money without powder?
- How can these systems distinguish between blood and other mixed substances?
- What features enhance the detection of fibers, hairs, and gunshot residues?
The ForenScope team effectively resolved technical challenges during the event, ensuring seamless demonstrations and fostering a collaborative atmosphere for knowledge sharing.
Empowering Forensic Professionals
The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many emphasizing the potential of ForenScope’s solutions to streamline investigations and improve evidence analysis workflows. Attendees highlighted the systems’ real-time processing capabilities, user-friendly interface, and ability to deliver high-resolution imaging, as standout features that could significantly enhance their daily work.
Looking Ahead
ForenScope’s participation in the National Forensics Bureau Training underscores our commitment to advancing forensic science through continuous innovation. By developing cutting-edge solutions tailored to the evolving needs of forensic professionals, we aim to empower investigators worldwide to achieve better outcomes in their work.
We thank everyone who participated in the training for their engagement and valuable feedback. Together, we can shape the future of forensic science.
