The Institute of Forensic Science is committed to providing cutting-edge technology to the students of the University of New Haven, law enforcement in the region and partners from around the world. The state-of-the-art equipment in the Advanced Technology Center includes 3D laser scanning, instruments for the analysis of documents and other materials with alternate light combinations, ground penetrating radar, and other computerized crime scene equipment. The Technology Center also has purchased portable versions of Raman, FTIR, 3-D documentation, and x-ray that can be brought to the scene and used to identify unknown substances, assist scene personnel with safety and collection issues, and classify biological materials before laboratory analysis. In addition, the Institute has acquired a footwear database and other instrumentation to search and compare fingerprints, palm prints, cartridge cases or bullets that are on file.
