ViCAP

ViCAP, or the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program, is a national database managed by the FBI that collects and analyzes information on violent crimes like homicides and sexual assaults. It helps law enforcement agencies across the country share data, identify patterns, and link cases that might be connected. By comparing details such as vehicle descriptions, suspect descriptions, and crime scene evidence, ViCAP assists investigators in solving cases more efficiently and potentially catching serial offenders. It serves as a crucial tool in the effort to reduce violent crime and enhance public safety.
