• Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
• Communications strategy
• Financial investigation
• House-to-house enquiries
• Intelligence strategy
• Passive data generators
• Physical evidence
• Scene strategy
• Search powers, and obtaining and executing search warrants

Although their principal aim is to locate and gather material, there are two other important aims. These are to:

• provide the victim’s family with a level of service that assists them to come to terms with the tragedy
• satisfy legitimate requirements for information about an investigation from partner agencies and the community
