Laserati

Rochester police have a new tool to solve crime. The city is testing a new 3D laser scanner. The scanner made by Leica Geosystems is on loan from the A & E Television Network. It is part of the Rochester Police Departments agreement to participate in the reality drama “Crime 360″.

Rochester is one of only six departments in the entire country to use the scanner. Basically, it allows police to take a 3D picture of a scene. “When you have a live scan and you can recreate the scene the way it was right after it happened, the chances of solving the crime increase,” said Sgt. Mike Coon, Rochester Police Department. More at News10NBC.com
