DNA forensic system for police forensic science center cooperation: Architectural design and implementation

Criminal identification is one of the most important tasks for the police force. It is often a key piece of evidence for prosecuting potential criminals. Therefore, new ideas of design and development in DNA forensics for the Scientific Crime Detection Division have been established to facilitate the work of the officers on duty, including data collection for analysis and comparison of DNA data, or to transfer records on request to other center for further analysis. By enabling the transfer of data between center, it facilitates cooperation and networking, increasing overall efficiency. The design and development was divided into two parts. The first part was networking, which is designed to deal with the work as a distributed system. It also focuses on security of the data, preventing access from outside individuals. The second part is the program, which is designed to be accessible as a web application and web service. It also aims to enable communication between police forensic science center throughout Thailand. The two of these combined to make a full DNA system architecture for the Scientific Crime Detection Division.
