Description

Socrates supports secure forensic evidence handling, case management, matching of evidence, Modus Operandi matching, and pattern recognition between apparently unrelated cases. It incorporates a large suite of modules. Links to national databases enable FIU staff to identify where someone has had their DNA taken previously, and who they are (PNC and DNA Match). Access to the Footwear Intelligence Tool enables FIU staff to upload images of footprints, and identify potential matches (make, size etc). FLARE, PRISM, SOCIMS, SOCCER and SOCKET provide tracking for fingerprints, photographs, scene stains and PACE DNA samples (where DNA has been taken post arrest) respectively.
