The Singapore Police Force (SPF) is making use of new technologies such as unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs) and 3D scanners to enhance efficiency in forensic investigations.The fundamentals of forensic investigative processes remain the same, but they are instead complemented by advancements in technologies, said the police during a media engagement session on Monday (June 8) which showcased their forensic division capabilities.During the session, the police also referenced the 2016 Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal murder case — where a Malaysian man stabbed his supervisor and hid her body in a drain before fleeing the country — and shared how the latest technologies could have been applied to the investigations. According to a press release on Wednesday, the police said that the new technologies have been adopted by the forensics division under Home Team Science and Technology Agency Integrated Forensics Service, which is a specialised unit that is forward deployed to SPF's Criminal Investigation Department.
