Ground penetrating radar (GPR) can be employed to assist police and law enforcement investigation teams in forensic searches. GPR detects objects buried in the ground and reveals ground structure. Large areas can be searched quickly and non-destructively, greatly improving search efficiency and reducing unnecessary excavation.

Forensic applications of ground penetrating radar include:

	Detection of buried bodies, graves, hides and caches.
	Detection of cavities both in the ground and in structures.

Each survey is tailored to the precise requirements of the investigation and practicalities of the site, and starts with a discussion with investigators to determine the most favourable approach to conducting the search. The forensic survey service includes:

	Attendance on-site using appropriate survey methods.
	Real time ground marking enabling on-site decisions regarding further investigations.
	On-site advice and interpretation.
	If required, a detailed report with plans, which may be used in evidence.
