Livetime Forensics Flashcards
What was the paper titled?
Using research and development to address the requirements of the police
Who wrote the paper?
ACPO Shaun Mallinson in 2012
What 3 areas would live time forensics benefit?
Crime scenes
Custody suite
Personal identification
How would it help in crime scenes?
Samples obtained can be analysed on site, providing investigators with information that can be used proactively as opposed to reactively
What are the current problems/issues at crime scenes? (Name at least 2)
It Tasking Locating and collecting evidence Scene recording Evidence management
What development opportunities are suggested by the paper? (Name at least 2)
Standardised hardware for recording scenes
Research into more effective methods of examining crime scenes using modern technology
Evidence management system for tracking evidence from scene to court
How would lifetime forensics help in custody suites?
Integrated and standardised protocols with livetime searching will ensure detection improvements
What are some of the issues/problems currently in custody suites? (Name at least 2)
Sampling times
Live-time searching
Multiple data entry
Use of facial imaging
What development opportunities can be placed in custody? (Name at least 2)
Integrated approach to identity parades from prisoner images
Ability to obtain electronic data from mobile devices
Hand held device for confirmation of id of a suspect
How can live-time forensics help in personal identifications?
Brining together a all sources of intelligence at the right time to identify individuals will allow police to make more informed decisions.
What problems/issues are present in personal ID?
CCTV and facial recognition Fingerprinting Rapid DNA analysis Iris recognition Voice recognition Social website/phone data Tracking
What developments can be made to help the issues with identification?
Fusion of multiple data sources Improving speed and quality of CCTV images Improved forensics and video technology Screening and capturing biometric data Improved methods for tracking offenders
What 3 ways can all the objectives be achieved?
Development
Innovation and adaptation
How will development help with the achievement of the proposed opportunities for development?
Advance and build on the methodologies and technologies that are currently in place
How will innovation help with the achievement of the proposed opportunities for development?
Devise and completely create new technologies and methods
