Legal professionals
Litigators will have the opportunity to learn about the latest tools and techniques being used by the law enforcement community to acquire and analyze dimensional data in an event or crime scene. 3D laser scanners, white light scanners, sub-millimeter scanners – what are they? When, why and how are they used? How would you cross-examine an expert engineer who brought this technology before you in a trial? These questions and many others will be answered.
Through IAFSM, you will have the opportunity to learn the correct techniques and best practices for utilizing these technologies during an investigation. This includes quality assurance protocols for ensuring accurate results within accepted tolerances. You will also have the opportunity to reach out to the international law enforcement community and teach them what to expect when these technologies come into your courtroom.
A quarterly newsletter will be coming in 2007. This email newsletter will help IAFSM members stay on top of the latest developments in forensic and security metrology around the world, and will give members a venue to publish articles on current events, their usage of new technologies and their results.
An international users' group will be available for sharing techniques and ideas. IAFSM will enable users to gain direct access to major hardware and software developers to share their requirements and help influence future development.
