Resumo

With modern biometric files (including DNA and fingerprints) and their computerized retrieval, the police/medical examiner interface in terms of DVI has to be readjusted. Medical examiner offices are built for routine work. A key goal in the aftermath of mass casualty disasters is the reduction of cases handled by medical examiners (whose facilities and manpower are often overwhelmed by large numbers of cases). Biometric files are one method to reduce cases.
