The Forensic Institute for Research andEducation (FIRE) has developed a smartphone app for firstresponding officers on crime scenes called CASE (Checklist App forScene Examination). The most pristine a crime scene will ever be iswhen the first responder arrives, and the CASE app uses a checklistapproach with smartphone technology to document evidence at risk toloss or alteration before proper processing.The app was developed under the direction of seasoned crime sceneinvestigators from across the nation with dozens of years ofcombined experience. Additionally, LifeWings Partners, LLC, usedover two decades of demonstrated expertise in checklist developmentfor high consequence industries to provide guidance. The newlyrevised 2013 Crime Scene Investigation: A Guide for Law Enforcementserved as a reference for the app checklist definitions. WillowTreeApps, Inc., known for creating award-winning apps across multipleindustries, designed the CASE app for iPhone and Android use.The CASE app provides law enforcement a well-thought-out aidthat can systematically guide them through the often chaoticsetting of a crime scene while providing smartphone technologyneeded for documentation.
