A TRUE BREAKTHROUGH IN COMBATING CRIME
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
Covert evidence gathering has not seen major changes in decades. Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) are still using conventional, manpower based techniques to gather forensic evidence. We are developing a novel, ultra-low-power, intelligent, miniaturised, low-cost, wireless, autonomous sensor (“FORENSOR”) for evidence gathering. The combination of built-in intelligence with ultra-low power consumption will make this device a true breakthrough for combating crime.
WHO WE ARE
FORENSOR is a project – an Innovation Action – co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union. The project is run by a consortium of 11 carefully selected partners with complementary skills particularly suited to the multidisciplinary nature of the project: 2 industrial partners, 4 SMEs, 3 academic/research partners and 2 LEAs/pilot users, coming from seven different European countries (Belgium, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal and Spain).
WHAT WE DO
We are developing – and will be validating – a sensor (“FORENSOR”) for evidence gathering that will be able to operate at remote locations, automatically identify pre-defined criminal events, and alert Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in real time while providing and storing the relevant video, location and timing evidence. FORENSOR will be manageable remotely, preserve the availability and the integrity of the collected evidence, and comply with all legal and ethical standards.
