The evidence to solve a shooting is already on the ground. The first minutes matter most.
After a shooting, the marks that connect a fired cartridge casing to a weapon, a person, and prior cases are sitting in the brass on the ground. The most valuable investigative window opens right away, while witnesses are still nearby and the scene is still live.
Revelen reads the casing at the scene instead. An officer scans a recovered casing on site and gets an investigative lead in minutes, while witnesses are still present and the scene is still live. The casing still goes to the lab. Chain of custody stays intact. We add a step and remove none.
