Examiners are asked to analyze paint evidence from cases which usually evolve from hit-and-run incidents or other related investigations. They participate in a collaborative effort in maintaining the Paint Data Query (PDQ) database which is housed and overseen by the Canadian Royal Mounted Police (CRMP). State and local law enforcement agencies investigating hit-and-run homicides and other cases rely on the Chemistry Unit’s accessibility to, and expertise within, the PDQ database. The PDQ contains approximately 20,000 samples of paint systems, which represent over 74,000 individual paint samples from vehicles dating from 1960 to the present. This database assists law enforcement agents in their investigations of cases by providing the list of possible years, models and makes as the source of evidentiary paint samples. The primary instrumental techniques used for paint is a combination of microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR). |
It's actually ANY hit-and-run in CT but I don't think he is from CT anyway. Besides they might break down just from the cop asking them anyway, you never know.
