Shepherd Communication & Security, a provider of advanced technology solutions for electronic and specialty security systems, and CSI Protect, the exclusive U.S. distributor of SelectaDNA forensic marking technology, announces the first successful use of synthetic forensic technology as a crime-fighting tool in the Northeastern United States.
Deploying innovative SelectaDNA technology, synthetic DNA evidence was captured following a larceny at Truman Jewelers in Albany. In that incident, a suspect made off with approximately $4,000 in merchandise. Unbeknownst to him, he was ‘misted’ by a forensic criminal tagging system, which had been installed at the store by Shepherd Communication & Security as part of a pilot crime suppression initiative.
