One identity in the criminal justice chain

As soon as someone is arrested by the police, their identity must be established. This is important, for example to make sure that the right person is on trial and that it is the same person who is serving any sentence. To prevent mistaken identity and identity fraud, an unambiguous determination of that identity is essential. Not only at the police station, but at all organizations in the criminal justice chain (court, house of detention, prison, etc).

Forensic investigation visibly a leap forward

The investigation deserves traces': more digital forensic traces, with more interpretation and available faster. With this motto, one and a half years ago the Dutch National Police launched the program 'Repositioning and Intensifying Forensic Investigation', or Program FO for short. The goal of this program is to bring forensic investigation in the field of learning-development-quality, personnel and organizational development and information to a higher level. The program makes progress and results are visible: new learning paths, implementation of mobile ICT tools, innovations in investigation techniques and actually testing and measuring the effects of new techniques and process improvements in practice. And this in the chain of investigation and prosecution, because there is close cooperation in this program with the Netherlands Forensic Institute, the Public Prosecution Service and market parties such as the Maastricht Forensic Institute (commercial lab for, among other things, DNA research). VKA participates in this program in the roles of strategic communication, IV architecture and knowledge sharing, process design and project management. Below two projects are explained, which are part of the program: 'Local DNA' and the 'Development Square'.
