Supporting Ontario Forensic Investigator’s Association Conference 2025

We are pleased to participate in this year’s Ontario Forensic Investigator’s Association OFIA Educational Conference from April 29^th to May 1^st, 2025. For more information please see: https://ofia.ca/conference.html

Forensic Investigators are responsible for attending crime scenes to identify, collect, preserve, and analyze physical evidence using specialized forensic techniques. This includes preparing detailed reports, liaising with investigators and Crown Counsel, and presenting expert testimony in court.

Record checks play a crucial supporting role by helping to identify suspects, corroborate evidence, and provide investigative leads. Here’s how they fit in practically:

1. Record checks confirm the identity and provide a background on prior offenses on a suspect when evidence such as Fingerprint Matches are found.
2. Linking Forensic Evidence to Criminal History by checking against national databases like CPIC or NDDB Labs to understand the individual’s history, patterns, and potential risk.
3. Supplement testimony with record Information for Court Testimony to give context for evidence and speak to the relevance of a suspect’s prior behavior or credibility of evidence.
4. Supporting Scene Context and Victimology with a history of any criminal involvement that could shift investigative focus or tactics.

Agile Record can supplement investigations with:

1. Unified auto-queries of CPIC QPERS, CNI, CNI-VS, PIP/PSOP, etc. along both primary/secondary queries of court files.
2. Enable multiple name combinations, reversals including maiden, other names and aliases etc.
3. Consolidates results from multiple systems into a single, view for analysis.
4. Complete forensic history by including change control, authorizations and monitoring record check results or record ownership/hand-offs
