Local police force utilizing the RIEGL VZ-600i Terrestrial Laser Scanner
The Winter Garden Police Department (WGPD), which is the local police force where the RIEGL USA Headquarters calls home in Florida, recently purchased a RIEGL VZ-600i Terrestrial Laser Scanner for their CSI & Forensic units. As a small regional department, they were in need of a tool that could have various use cases, both in Crime Scene and Traffic Homicide Investigations. The RIEGL VZ-600i is the perfect multi-faceted scanner that can be a shared resource to their Traffic Homicides Investigations Unit and also the Crime Scene Investigations Unit. Before taking delivery of the VZ-600i, WGPD completed training at the RIEGL USA headquarters from experienced practitioners and technicians, where they learned how to use crime scene reconstruction data and learn the post-processing workflows. With the use of this top-of-the-line terrestrial scanner, WGPD is able to get more precise data at crime scenes that makes the difference between doubt and quantifiable evidence. The lightweight nature and ease of use was a huge selling point for the Winter Garden Police Department, and they are looking forward to implementing it into everyday processes at the station.

We look forward to supporting our local police forces for many years to come.”
As they look to the future, WGPD’s goal is to use this scanner for a variety of applications, including large-scale damaged property scans, vehicle accidents, homicide investigations, and several future endeavors that are being internally developed. RIEGL USA looks forward to a continued collaboration with its local law enforcement. As a resident Winter Garden business, RIEGL USA is proud to be an active and contributing member for keeping its local community safe.
