Approximately 1,500 pieces of evidence from 376 cases were processed during 2000. This resulted in 45 matches to known suspects. The Digital Lab produced 1,445 sets of image files during the year, bringing the total to 4,694 set of images in the database.
In 2000, the IFSU processed 3,433 arrested persons and another
507
for reasons such as adoption, employment, military, and licensing
purposes.
The department recently purchased new surveillance
equipment for use in high-profile crimes. New computer forensic
equipment was also purchased, which has helped IFSU process evidence
pertaining to computer crimes. Twelve computers were analyzed in 2000.
More time was allocated for training, as equipment has become more
technical.
