Virginia police go 3D
AREVA, an international nuclear services firm, provided the Central Virginia Crash Team with two 3D scanners that use lasers to reconstruct traffic crashes as well as crime scenes to create accurate, scale models as evidence
The Central Virginia Crash Team now has two sophisticated devices that are capable of building 3D models thanks to a $70,000 donation.
AREVA, an international nuclear services firm, provided the crash team with two 3D scanners that use lasers to reconstruct traffic crashes as well as crime scenes to create accurate, scale models as evidence. These models are designed to help the forensics team analyze crime-scenes.
Bedford City police chief Jim Day said he was grateful for the donation and that the technology will enhance his agency’s crime-fighting abilities.
“We otherwise could not afford this type of equipment. It will be shared among two regional crash teams and others as needed. It’s equipment that we’ll be able to use to be more efficient, more effective,” Day said.
