Shooting Incident Reconstruction
Modern investigators are frequently faced with the investigation of incidents involving the discharge of firearms. Whether the incident is a criminal act, an act of self-defense, or the use of deadly force by law enforcement, the outcome of these investigations often has far-reaching consequences. It is essential that investigators effectively and accurately analyze these scenes so facts surrounding these incidents can be demonstrated in a court of law or where otherwise required. |
