John McShane, Facilities Manager Evidence Storage and Securement

State-of-the-art technology for investigation, documentation, preservation and analysis of all types of evidence.

High-Definition Survey (HDS) Laser Scan Technology:

Utilized to investigate, document and preserve evidence at accident scenes, of vehicle and property damage, crime scenes, environments and objects that need to remain uncompromised. Once surveyed with the laser scanner technology, measurements taken are accurate to within three millimeters or less. HDS laser scan data can be plotted via computer-aided design and modeling software to create accurate, precise, functional and aesthetically pleasing two-dimensional and three-dimensional exhibits.

Vehicle Diagnostic Equipment:

Based on the latest release of industry standard crash data retrieval (CDR) software, car makers are providing access to more post-crash data and vehicle parameters than ever before. The FSTC provides the latest diagnostic equipment for downloading event data recorder (black box) data from vehicles, as well as the expertise to analyze the data.

3-D Animation:

The technology required to create a three-dimensional environment is becoming more affordable and, as such, its usage is increasing. Spatial relationships are often critical to the proper evaluation of catastrophic events including construction accidents, vehicular collisions, slip, trip and fall incidents, industrial accidents,
as well as many other events. The ability to quickly and accurately replicate the incident scene into a three-dimensional environment provides the user the opportunity to evaluate a limitless number of scenarios without the constraints typically found in the actual scene recreation.
