sily set up to
secure crime scenes. These credentials will accurately track and log access to
and from crime scenes. In addition, the project is expected to create evidence
tracking solutions, allowing law enforcement to track the collection and chain
of custody for evidence gathered at crime scenes. Tablet-based technologies
will be used to capture images and collect information, and a biometrically
secure evidence container will be created, linking evidence gathered to the
specific law enforcement person who collected the evidence through
fingerprints or other secure biometric methods. In this way, law enforcement,
as well as prosecuting and defense attorneys, can accurately see who had
access to crime scenes, who collected evidence and who had access to the
evidence throughout the chain of custody.
Thomas Connell, VUANCE's Vice President for Government Solutions,
commented, "Modern investigators have to deal with the new phenomenon being
called the 'CSI Effect,' a new term used to explain the unreasonable
expectations juries now have regarding forensic investigations due to the
popularity of shows like the CSI franchise, Crossing Jordan, and the Forensic
Files. This solution will provide new levels of accuracy and increased
confidence in the security of crime scenes and evidence collected from them.
In addition, the various federal initiatives for credentialing and scene
control in the wake of 9/11 and the hurricanes on the Gulf Coast have created
a significant need for an end-to-end solution. VUANCE's comprehensive
technology provides the basis for this solution, and we look forward to
working closely with law enforcement and experts at the University to develop
a robust solution to address this growing problem."
"We believe this is an important development project, and an initiative
particularly well suited for the wide-range of technologies in which VUANCE
specializes," said Eyal Tuchman, Chief Executive Officer
