Field-based narcotics ID enables speedy prosecution while saving valuable lab resources
24 Mar 2017This case study looks at how the Phoenix Police Department deployed TruNarc Analyzers in a pilot program for identification of narcotics. The results of the pilot study show that the use of TruNarc Analyzers in the police department allowed more drugs to be tested, reduced the cost of testing and reduced the number of samples sent to the Crime Lab, allowing the reallocation of resources for high priority cases.
