State-of-the-art van will help state police crime scene investigators
More and more law enforcement agencies are purchasing new and high tech tools to aid them in crime scene investigations. Similar to the Decatur, NJ police department’s “crime scene machine,” the Illinois State Police have recently been given a refurbished 19-foot van to serve as a mobile crime laboratory for major crime scenes. Equipped with the necessary tools for processing a crime scene and state-of-the-art technology to label evidence and directly upload it to the computer database, the van will be deployed to large-scale violent crime scenes that require extensive investigative and evidence collection resources. According to ISP CSSC Lieutenant Matt Davis, the vehicle will enhance the CSI unit’s overall mission to “provide factual, timely, and proven assistance to [the] criminal investigations” of suburban police agencies, task forces, and metropolitan drug and enforcement groups.
