Gainesville, FL integrates BRASSTRAX technology into shooting investigation process
Gainesville, FL BRASSTRAX Shooting Investigation Technology
The Gainesville City Council funded the BRASSTRAX purchase with federal ARPA funds. BRASSTRAX creates 2D and 3D images of shell cases gathered from crime scenes. These images are compared with evidence submitted to a central database by participating departments. Investigating officers receive matching data in hours rather than days with the previous process. Gainesville police anticipate sharing the technology with neighboring departments for a more detailed database.
