3D Laser Scanning for Public Safety
A scene is evidence that disappears the moment you release it. Scanning captures it completely and measurably, in minutes rather than hours, so the road reopens sooner and the record holds up later.
Talk to our teamWhy agencies scan a scene
You capture everything, not only what you thought to measure
The question nobody asked on the night gets answered two years later from the data, without returning to a scene that no longer exists.
Scenes clear faster
Minutes per setup instead of hours of manual measurement. On a highway that is a road reopened and a risk removed.
The measurements are defensible
Every dimension comes from the same recorded dataset, with a documented instrument and a documented method.
Juries understand it
A walkthrough or a measured diagram communicates a scene in a way that photographs and a tape measure cannot.
Where it is used
Crime scene documentation
Interiors and exteriors captured completely, including trajectory and sightline analysis that is difficult to reconstruct any other way.
Crash scene analysis
Vehicle positions, skid geometry, road surface and sightlines, captured while the scene is live and analyzed afterward.
Fire and explosion investigation
Structural documentation of an unstable scene from a safe standoff distance.
Pre-incident planning
Scanning schools, stadiums and public buildings before anything happens, so responders have real geometry rather than a floor plan.
Courtroom presentation
Measured diagrams, animations and interactive views produced from the same dataset the investigation used.
Talk it through
Tell us your agency's caseload and what your prosecutors need. We will tell you whether equipment, training or a service contract fits best.

The RTC series suits most scene work: fast enough to clear a scene quickly, accurate enough for reconstruction, with registration handled in the field so nothing depends on getting back to a desk.
For interiors and tighter scenes the BLK360 is compact and quick. For anything that has to be walked rather than set up, the BLK2GO captures as you move.
We train the people who will use it, and we service what we sell from our own calibration center, which matters when an instrument's certification may be questioned.
