Why South Wales Police are using the Leica Geosystems BLK360 for Laser Scanning Major Crime Scenes

South Wales Police has found the BLK360 works well in confined indoor spaces, enabling them to rapidly and accurately capture crime scenes and then ‘revisit’ them much later.

Russell Gardner is principal forensic imaging officer at the Joint Scientific Investigations Unit at South Wales Police Headquarters, which also provides services to Gwent Police. The force had been using manual measurement techniques and traditional video/photography at crime scenes, but could see the benefits that laser scanning could bring. “So for a few major cases we paid to bring in an external service – but that was never going to be a long-term solution,” explains Russ.

The benefits of long-term scene capture

According to Russ Gardner: “Our use of the system helps us avoid disturbing the evidence, and we can permanently capture the whole scene before anything is removed or disposed of. We can then go back to the data any time, even years later, to see the height of a bed or a witness viewpoint. This really matters because when you’re at the scene, you can’t possibly know what questions might come up several months down the line.

As forensic imaging specialists, we increasingly make a difference to the outcome of a case, which can also mean making a positive difference for the victim or their loved ones.

使用扫描数据可能很重要。我们在案件开始时,收集证据,然后在我们在法庭上展示和解释它时,再次结束。这是一个涉及整个旅程的特权,而不是只是其中的一部分。“

场景1 - 埋葬的受害者

失踪人员案件成为一个在临时坟墓中发现的尸体时成为谋杀案。Russ'团队在拆除身体之前和之后扫描墓地,不确定数据可能提供的信息,但希望尽可能充分地捕捉最佳证据。

包括法医考古学家在内的专家能够推断坟墓是如何挖掘的,并且在嫌疑人在挖掘并挖土时犯罪的地方。

扫描数据是产生非常准确的坟墓形状和结构的视觉记录的关键,这通常很难看出,从2D缩放图纸,照片和绘图图中往往难以看出。

一位法医考古学家说,“扫描在这种情况下工作得非常好,并且它对录制现场进行了很大的工作,以相对的方式,速度,最重要的是对我来说,没有侵入坟墓或它包含的东西。你通过飞行产生的视频是特殊的,并且真正有助于介绍证据。

高级调查官Di Andy Miles表示,“作为在这种情况下的高级调查官,我会参加现场观看自己的景观和沉着网站。在这种技术产生重大影响的情况下,这是为了他人的利益。随后的审判中的陪审团显然,他们不会有自己的利益,审判几个月后。毫无疑问,在法庭环境中向陪审团和被告展示了这种情绪化的情感镜头,禁止被告提供有罪辩护的效果。在这种情况下,如此不能低估这一技术“。

Scenario 2 – An In-vehicle murder by stabbing

CCTV英尺长在一辆停放在房子外的车辆晚上晚上刺伤了。然而,很暗示很难解释镜头。所以第二天,Russ'团队使用该系统创建了“鸟瞰”飞行的场景,使车辆与CCTV相机有关,其视图范围。

Although the suspect was apprehended by other means, the scan data provided important confirmation and understanding of the location and orientation for all concerned in the case, especially the jury. A conviction resulted.
