Summary of the results
As part of the first sub-activity, a visit to the NCIS took place on 25-26 October 2022. Eight people from Estonia got acquainted with the NCIS system - four from the Estonian Forensic Science Institute (EFSI) and four from Center of Registers and Information Systems.
During the second sub-activity of the project, there was also a visit to NCIS, where the experience of 3D scanning of the crime scene and how 3D scanning results are prepared for use in court in Norway were learned. The visit took place on May 30-31, 2023. The use of 3D laser scanners in Norway was introduced by two 3D experts. On the Estonian side, one employee of the EFSI and three police officers participated.
The project was certainly successful and fulfilled its goals. Learning visits to NCIS regarding the information system and the 3D scanning of the crime scenes provided a lot of knowledge and experience that can also be applied in Estonia.
