Digital and spatial forensics
Where a shot came from, and which shot came first, are geometry and timing problems our engineers are equipped to solve.
We build three-dimensional trajectory models from defect geometry at the scene to establish the range of positions a shot could have been fired from.
Audio recorded by body cameras, surveillance systems, and bystander phones frequently establishes the characteristics and sequence of discharged firearms, and combining audio timing with video and scene geometry can locate where the first round was fired.

Send us the incident location, the date, and what is in dispute. We'll discuss what analysis is possible with the evidence that exists, and what it would take to get.
