Carlson Software Investigations (CSI) is designed with powerful forensic diagramming capabilities to measure and map crime scenes and traffic accidents. CSI is ideal for city and county police departments, State Police and consulting firms engaged in accident reconstruction.
“On its own or together with CSI Mobile, CSI Office can effectively and accurately reconstruct crash or crime scenes, complete with the capability for full 3D scene viewing.”
–Bruce Carlson, President, Carlson Software
Top new features in Carlson CSI Office include:
- Extensive and up-to-date vehicle spec database;
- Quick Import feature imports field data and creates scene drawing in one step;
- Points Editor allows users to edit point information and have the change occur in real time on computer screen;
- Design Palette enables creation of custom function groups and keeps them readily available. It also provides quick access to placing symbols, hatches, and color fills;
- Room Builder lets users create walls, doors, and windows and view the room in 3D. Walls can be created based off linework shot in the field. Walls, doors, and floors can be colored to match the scene;
- Body Outline function allows you to draw a “chalk outline” style body. The body can be manipulated, including movement of arms, legs, and head, to fit the anatomy of a scene.
Carlson first introduced the company’s investigative software CSI Office in 1999 working with Nikon. It has been used by law enforcement agencies around the country. Together with CSI Mobile, accident and crime scenes can now be investigated and reconstructed accurately in the field then analyzed and mapped in the office.
