Better Forensic Investigation for Law Enforcement 

FARO ensures accuracy in crime scene forensics. 
When collecting evidence from a crime scene, investigators race against the clock. Each passing moment makes evidence contamination more likely. Plus, in the case of a crash, there’s pressure to reopen roads quickly. FARO’s scanners dramatically reduce the time needed to capture any scene and help investigators stay safe.
