The introduction of new tactical forensic capabilities and equipment provide much needed help to law enforcement investigators and deployed military operators. Whether it be linking crime scenes together, finding a fugitive’s trail, locating missing children, processing mass casualty sites or identifying a terrorist building improvised explosive devices (IED), forensics can be used to aid investigations in the absence of actual suspects.
While the forensics community at large has continued to develop cutting-edge capabilities for laboratory environments, until now there has been little work focused on getting mission-focused forensics capabilities in the hands of field-deployed personnel. With 20+ years’ experience supporting site biometrics and forensics missions, Booz Allen developed the VAMPIRE™ Tactical Forensic Device to enable law enforcement, military and intelligence groups the ability to collect, analyze and identify forensic evidence in the field, allowing for critical decisions to be made while still in the field.
Military operators and law enforcement investigators can use Booz Allen's tactical forensic device for in-field latent fingerprint collection and rapid identification.
