Vigilant Solutions' BallisticSearch™ provides law enforcement agencies with faster and more efficient cartridge case analysis. BallisticSearch includes portable image capture hardware, cartridge case capture software and ballistics comparison technology. The solution enables agencies to quickly compare evidence from crime scenes to help generate more investigative leads, and potentially identify more suspects and the firearms they use.
Developed using the company's image analysis and technology expertise, BallisticSearch is designed to be the most efficient system available for analyzing ballistic evidence in both 2D and 3D format. BallisticSearch can process evidence in minutes, while other systems can take hours to process the same evidence. BallisticSearch's faster analysis will have a huge impact on reducing backlogs. With faster comparisons and potential links established, agencies can generate strong investigative leads boosting their ability to solve crimes more quickly, in some cases right from the crime scene. This will help agencies establish a comprehensive ballistic collection program and ultimately reduce crime rates.
Other key advantages of BallisticSearch include:
- expedited processing;
- allows for comprehensive collection of evidence to solve more cases
- a portable capture device designed to be small and lightweight for use in the field;
- scalability, affordability and ease of use;
- the ability to share data across jurisdictions; and
- agency control over prioritization and deployment.
BallisticSearch is being introduced as part of the LEARN 6.0 investigative platform, which includes Vigilant's license plate recognition and analytics, now branded as PlateSearch™, and Vigilant's facial recognition and analytics, now branded as FaceSearch™. This comprehensive platform allows agencies of all sizes to access Vigilant's image analysis capabilities to develop more leads and solve crimes faster.
