Latest Digital Technology To Track Down Criminals

The latest digital imaging technology was launched by Tasmania Police to track down and identify criminals.

Through a new digital system (PhotoTrac) which is currently operating in all Police districts, digital images of offenders are obtained and stored. The images can be then used for the compilation of photo boards or electronic witness identification.

The new system has the ability to assist and identification of offenders and people of interest from security camera surveillance images.

The camera footage relating to a criminal offence can be searched across the entire Tasmania offender images database. PhotoTrac system is also capable of linking to other police jurisdictions and national law enforcement agencies.
