As leading experts in the field of facial imagery comparison, SRi Forensics provides a bespoke identification service in cases of serious and volume crime.
We are an independent agency working within the Criminal Justice system. We are instructed by either the Prosecution OR the Defence. On many occasions, we act as Joint Expert Witnesses, effectively instructed by both sides. The outcome of cases is not determined by ourselves (that is the Jury's prerogative), only examining the evidence presented before us.
Facial image comparison or "Facial Mapping" as it is commonly known, is a technique which assesses information in the form of video/CCTV or photographic imagery and compares images of 'offenders' with suspects.
Our methods are used as a means of providing expert evidence to support or refute the possible identity of an individual.
Our expertise in the field of facial image comparison has enabled us to take advantage of the growth in video surveillance material needing to be professionally prepared and analysed for identification purposes. We have matched this with the growth in the need to present this evidence to court.
With over 25 years experience, we are on the National Crime Agency's (NCA) list of trusted providers to the Police and other government agencies.
As we are fully independent and neutral, we are listed on the registers of Expert Witness and National Expert Witness Agency (NEWA) for the defence.
