UK police making Gil Grissom jealous...
The Forensic Science Service (FSS) has developed a mobile laboratory which will travel to crime scenes and carry out real-time forensic investigation and analysis, according to Silicon.com.
The van will also have electronic forensic science facilities, such as on-board access and retrieval of data on mobile phones:
"FSS worked with BT to design the mobile laboratories. Each van is equipped with a local area network for connection to the FSS network, enabling rapid forensic database interrogation via a BT Media and Broadcast satellite."
