| IDENTIFICATION Photography, forensic evidence and DNA
The St.Thomas Police Service has highly qualified identification and scenes of crime officers on staff. Their specialized training focuses on photography, crime scene videography, digital darkroom techniques as well as criminalistics including: fingerprint developments, comparisons and recognition, recovery and preservation of evidence techniques, crime scene examination, testifying as an expert witness and case management and documentation. They are also trained in DNA sample collection techniques.
Our state of the art identification laboratory is equipped with ductless forensic evidence drying and dusting cabinets that provide a safe environment for our officers while they conduct their duties, as well as 35 mm, digital and video camera equipment.
Our identification unit works in conjunction with the Centre of Forensic Science in Toronto where more complex forensic identification work is completed. Forensic identification plays an important role in the successful conclusion of many incidents.
