FINDER: Forensic Identification via Non-Destructive Evidence Retrieval

Smytec有限公司创造了一种突破性的法医成像技术，消除了对老式指纹检索方法的需求，并用高科技解决方案取而代之。Smytec的目标是通过其技术FINDER将指纹证据检索带入21世纪。在犯罪现场，CSIS必须首先搜索“看不见”的指纹证据，使用粉化等技术增强发现的任何潜在指纹，并使用粘合剂提升的形式进行恢复，然后存储和运输到实验室。然后，必须对回收的电梯进行数字成像，以便与数据库中的已知指纹进行比较。在现场，9-10个步骤的顺序过程可能是艰苦的，使得指纹恢复缓慢且重复。使用破坏性的方法，CSI的任何微小错误都可能破坏证据，使其无法恢复。Finder将这一过程简化为两个步骤：在现场搜索指纹，找到后恢复它们，所有这些都只需点击一个按钮，而不需要任何接触。这不仅将现场恢复速度从可能的几小时加快到几分钟，还减少了潜在的人为错误，并减少了CSIS在每个场景中所需的消耗品数量--内政部推荐了50多种指纹方法，其中大多数仅适用于单一表面类型。Finder可用于多种表面，包括各种金属、塑料、玻璃和纸张。最重要的是，检索到的指纹质量得到了提高，Finder的性能比指纹粉化技术高出近50%。由于是非接触式非破坏性的，Finder也适用于安全和防御，是秘密行动小组恢复指纹的独特工具。目前，指纹粉对于特种部队来说过于凌乱和技术性，不仅应用速度慢，而且需要漫长的清理过程。有了FINDER，团队可以在几分钟内进出，没有任何痕迹，在这个过程中找到了身份证据。FINDER还可以从爆炸后的碎片和碎片中恢复指纹。指纹被认为会在炸弹爆炸时被破坏，所以DNA分析被放在首位，目前的指纹技术成功率非常低，只有2%。根据与联邦调查局进行的测试，Finder成功从爆炸后的碎片和碎片中提取指纹的成功率为%。不再需要依赖轻易转移的DNA；现在可以检索指纹来识别嫌疑炸弹袭击者以及参与此类暴行的任何个人网络。

Smytec Ltd has created a ground-breaking Forensic Imaging technology, removing the need for old fashioned fingerprint retrieval methods and replacing these with a high-tech solution. Smytec aims to bring fingerprint evidence retrieval into the 21st Century with its technology: FINDER.At crime scenes, CSIs must first search for "invisible" fingerprint evidence, enhance any potential fingerprints found using techniques such as powdering, recover with a form of adhesive lift, store and transport them to the lab. The recovered lifts must then be digitally imaged to compare to known fingerprints in a database. At the scene the sequential process of 9-10 steps can be painstaking, making fingerprint recovery slow and repetitive. Using destructive methods, any tiny error by a CSI can destroy evidence and make it unrecoverable. FINDER cuts this sequence down to two steps: search the scene for fingerprints and when found recover them, all at the click of a button, without any contact. This not only speeds up scene recovery from potentially hours to minutes; it also reduces potential human error and reduces the number of consumables required for CSIs to take to every scene -- with over 50 fingerprint methods recommended by the Home Office the majority only applicable to be used on a single surface type. FINDER can be used on many surfaces, including various metals, plastics, glass and paper. On top of this, the quality of fingerprints retrieved is improved, with FINDER outperforming fingerprint powdering techniques by almost 50%.Due to being non-contact-non-destructive, FINDER is also applicable for Security and Defence, being a unique tool for fingerprint recovery for covert operations teams. Currently fingerprint powders are too messy and technical for Special Ops teams to use, not only being slow in application, but requiring a lengthy clean-up process. With FINDER teams can be in and out in minutes, without a trace, and with identification evidence recovered in the process.FINDER can also recover fingerprints from post-blast fragments and debris. Fingerprints are believed to be destroyed during bomb blasts, so DNA analysis is prioritised, with current fingerprint techniques having very poor success rates of 2%. From testing performed with the FBI, FINDER has a success rate of 64% in successfully retrieving fingerprints from post-blast fragments and debris. No longer does easily transferred DNA need to be relied on; fingerprints can now be retrieved to identify the suspect bomber and also any network of individuals involved in such atrocities.
