This item will allow for the purchase of one three-dimensional (3D) modeling scanner for the Police Department's Traffic Division.

This efficient collection of data permits investigators to process an accident scene and open roads rapidly. The scanner features a one button scan control, allowing for ease of use by placing the scanner in position and using the one button control to capture the entire scene.
