Features

kartik-evidence is built to be the most comprehensive forensic suite available, modularized into specialized units for realistic investigation.

The core of the system is the Forensic Tablet, a powerful in-game UI that serves as your digital evidence locker.

Crime Scene Registry: Create, search, and manage detailed reports for every scene.
Evidence Locker: Link physical items (projectiles, casings, blood samples) directly to cases.
Audit Logs: Automatic tracking of every action taken within a case (creation, evidence linking, status changes).
Scene Reconstruction: Recreate evidence placement for court presentations or cold case reviews.
Related Reports: Instantly identify other cases sharing the same forensic markers (DNA, Fingerprints, Ballistics, or Weapon Serial Numbers) from within any active report.

Deep synergy with Kartik MDT for a unified investigative experience.

Synced Biometrics: View DNA profiles and fingerprint records directly within person profiles.
Integrated Case Summaries: Access forensic reports and scene summaries without leaving the MDT.
Evidence Locker Access: View linked locker items, scene photos, and forensic images inside case files.
Automated Cross-Linking: Seamlessly jump between criminal records and forensic evidence logs.

Move beyond simple props with a precision marking system.

SketchPad UI: A dedicated drawing interface for creating forensic annotations.
World Projection: Drawings are projected from 2D UI space into 3D world coordinates.
Scene Highlighting: Outline bodies, mark blood trails, or highlight bullet paths with customizable colors.

Move beyond simple text-based matching with a deep biometric system.

DNA Profiling: Collect saliva and blood samples. Process them in the lab to generate unique DNA profiles.
AFIS (Fingerprint) Terminal: Scan fingerprints from scenes, vehicle doors, or players. Match them against the civilian database.
Cross-Referencing: Automatically find related cases when matching biometrics or ballistics are discovered.

Detailed tracking for every shot fired on your server.

Projectile Trajectory: Analyze where a bullet hit to determine the point of origin.
Serial Recovery: Recover serial numbers from scraped weapons using chemical restoration at the forensic bench.
Casing Analysis: Match casings found at a scene to the specific weapon that fired them.

A realistic Blood Alcohol Content system that integrates with consumption.

Digital Breathalyzer: Officers can perform field tests with professional animations.
Timed Decay: Alcohol levels naturally decrease over time based on configurable timers.
Forensic Accuracy: BAC levels are tracked per-drink, allowing for granular "sobering up" logic.

A deep dive into post-blast investigation and device reconstruction.

Explosive Tracking: Automatically detects explosionEvents and generates forensic remnants based on weapon type.
Remnant Recovery: Collect various materials including metallic shards, wiring remnants, and adhesive residues.
Chemical Analysis: Identify unreacted explosive compounds and specialized accelerants (fuel, alcohol, chemical mixes).
Post-Blast Forensics: Analyze fragmentation patterns to determine the device type (Molotov, Pipe Bomb, Sticky Bomb, etc.).

Tools to secure and analyze the environment.

Forensic Props: Place markers, cones, and high-visibility tape to secure active scenes.
Arson & Blast Detection: Detect accelerants (gasoline, kerosene), analyze burn patterns, and identify ignition sources. Fully integrated with explosive device fires.
Vehicle Forensics: Dust for prints on vehicles, check for blood in seats, or clean scenes with hydrogen peroxide.

Advanced vehicle forensics for tracking high-speed movements and burnouts.

Dynamic Detection: Automatically generates traction impressions during skids, drifts, and burnouts.
Forensic Profiling: Collect track data to identify vehicle tire categories (Sport, Offroad, Muscle, etc.).
Optimized Tracking: High-performance detection loop with distance-based throttling to prevent scene bloat.
Environmental Sensitivity: Tracks naturally wash away in the rain or can be removed using industrial cleaners.
