July 2023 Tips - Photo Lineups

Eyewitnesses play a vital role in the administration of justice in this country. Their testimony can provide the key to identifying, charging, and convicting a suspect in a criminal case. At its most basic level, a police lineup involves placing a suspect among people not suspected of committing the crime (fillers) and asking the eyewitness if they can identify the perpetrator. This can be done using a live lineup of people or, as more commonly done in U.S. police departments, a lineup of photographs.

Photo LINEUPS

Through the Photo Management module of In-Synch RMS, users can perform photo searches, create missing and wanted posters, or generate photo lineups for their investigative case reports.
