Study Notes

Lab Presentation

  • Labo voor Technische en Wetenschappelijke Politie is located at Collegelaan 1, 2140 Antwerpen.
  • The lab can be contacted at Tel (03) 217 87 11 or via email at [email protected].
  • The lab's work includes crime scene imaging with video, photo, and 360° technology.
  • It also includes searching for, revealing, photographing, recording, and seizing traces.
  • The lab conducts further exploitation of traces and/or transfers them for expert examination if necessary and advises magistrates.
  • Trace-conscious methods follow DNA legislation instructions, with the most recent revision on March 7, 2024.

Fact vs Fiction

  • In reality, analysis takes time vs. immediate results
  • Different actors are involved vs. all in-house
  • There's fragmentation with experts vs. specialist in every field
  • Spore processing requires more time than recording vs. polyvalence (tactical + technical)
  • Real time scenarios are more likely
  • There is administration vs. no administration

Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) vs Forensic Police Laboratory (FPL)

  • CSI is more technical focused in all provinces
  • FPL is science based, covering five areas: Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Charleroi and Liege.
  • Technical CSI includes track investigation at the scene, autopsy imaging, seizures (PACOS), and administration.
  • Scientific FPL work includes dactyloscopy(the study of fingerprints), shoe prints, imaging, blood detection, and DNA collection.

Urgent Intervention Callouts

  • Examples of callouts include armed robbery, violence, threats, carjacking, homejacking, burned vehicles if still at the scene, intentional assault and battery, shootings, stabbings, hostage situations, kidnapping, rape, indecent assault, fire with fatalities on site, synthetic drug labs, bomb threats, bomb explosions, fatal traffic accidents with hit-and-run, suspicious deaths, suicide, unintentional deaths, manslaughter, murder, attacks, terrorist-related acts, and violations of physical integrity.

Intervention During Office Hours

  • Common thefts
  • Break-ins, climbing, false keys.
  • Garage thefts
  • Fire with property damage or minor injuries
  • Vehicle and object investigations
  • Reference prints (ear and shoe prints)
  • Plantations and synthetic drug labs
  • Autopsies
  • Reconstructions

Contacting the Lab

  • For urgent interventions 24/7, use the radio room and request a call back.
  • Non-urgent requests can be sent via application form to [email protected].
  • The lab is available by phone on weekdays between 08:00 and 17:00.
  • 24/7 availability for cases involving physical integrity and after contacting the Public Prosecutor's Office (standby duty, sleeping at home).
  • Required information includes the initial report number, APFIS number for suspects and shoes, and contact details of victims and investigators.
  • Additional resources are available on the LTWP Antwerpen website.
  • The police find crimes, offenses, and violations, collect evidence, and hand over offenders to the courts for prosecution.
  • Considerations include the perpetrator's intent, premeditation, and whether the actions were intentional.

Locard's Principle

  • States "Every contact leaves a trace."
  • Any contact between objects and/or people leaves traces.
  • Spoor transfer

Transfer Types

  • Primary transfer happens directly from the source.
  • Secondary transfer occurs via an intermediary, such as animals or objects.
  • Cross-transfer is between victim and suspect.

Actors and Partners

  • Include LTWP, NICC (National Institute of Criminalistics & Criminology), DNA labs (5 accredited), medical examiners, fire experts, ballistics experts, forensic anthropologists, and odontologists. but also local/federal police, DOVO, traffic experts, civil protection, and customs

Forensic Expertise

  • LTWP has expertise in dactyloscopy (fingerprints), shoe print analysis, ear print analysis, recording break-in marks/tools, document analysis (writing), drugs (orientation tests), fire investigation, and deaths
  • Experts in DNA, drugs, toxicology, glass, fiber, hair, ballistics, paint trace analysis.

Recognizing Traces

  • It is important to to know what you're looking for and how to handle it
  • Focus on locations, conditions, most likely surfaces for "good" traces.
  • Focus on knowing exploitation opportunities for various traces, handling, packaging, transport with spore awareness.
  • Knowing how to use the trace indicator

Lab Utilization

  • Lab intervention should have added value and not serve as victim support or prevention advice.
  • Value is in useful traces, not standard every theft situations.
  • Judgement is crucial by first responders and field support.

Common Traces

  • Dactyloscopy
  • Ear Marks are unique
  • Shoe Prints
  • Tool Traces
  • Biological Traces
  • Micro Traces

Dactyloscopy

  • Micrograms of dirt, sweat
  • Unique traces
  • Has
    • grooves Enemies are:
    • humidity
    • friction
    • warmth

Where Can You Find Dactyloscopy?

  • fingers, grips, palms
