Ashburn, VA, USA, Nov. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seneca College, a
post-secondary institution in Toronto, ON Canada is committed to
ensuring their students have experience using the technology they
will need in the workforce. Police Foundations students in
the Forensic Crime Scene Investigation course are using the latest
technology to learn how to document mock crime scenes. This past
semester the students have been introduced to SceneDoc, a mobile investigative
management software system designed for smartphones and
tablets.
The software allows students to take evidentiary photography and
annotate them, complete electronic forms, create scene drawings,
add video/audio files and take keyboard-inputted or voice recorded
notes. The data then streams to a server in near-real time for
storage, retrieval and collaboration. The end state is a
field-based report that is exported into a single secure PDF that
can be shared instantaneously without having to go back to the car
or to the office.
Kevin Bryan, a Seneca Professor and 30-year veteran Detective with York Regional Police, states, "This type of technology is the path of the future in policing and it is great to see our students working ahead of the curve. It is very exciting to see the students so eager and enthusiastic to employ this new tool and I hope its use expands throughout the program and into the real world." Professor David Juck, a 40-year Forensic Investigations veteran went on to say, "This exciting mobile technology advancement makes for a new 'hands on' approach to assist students to learn about forensics and directly apply theory to reality."
Seneca College is the first post-secondary institution in Canada to introduce SceneDoc into the classroom. SceneDoc's Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Adrian Bubalo has been intimate with the college throughout the rollout to harness a deep understanding of the education use case of the software. "It's been rewarding to see the students really take into the technology and it's been a privilege to work with a faculty centered on innovation. This experience has not only been a testament to SceneDoc's ease-of-use but the fact that the next wave of public safety professionals are going to expect mobile technology to be core to the documentation process. Gone are the days of pen and paper."
