Trace Evidence Unit

The Trace Evidence Unit is a specialized part of forensic science that analyzes tiny pieces of material left behind at crime scenes, such as fibers, hair, soil, or paint. These small traces can connect a suspect, victim, or object to the scene or another person. By examining these materials under microscopes and using advanced techniques, the unit helps build a detailed picture of what happened, providing critical evidence to support investigations and court cases. Their work requires careful collection, preservation, and analysis of minute evidence often overlooked but potentially very revealing.
