There is no such a thing as the perfect crime, however subtle, they always leave traces. Some can simply be seen, others can only be detected by specialist equipment.

Even though there’s a wide variety of devices available, each with a very specific function, there are far fewer professionals able to use them. Meet the staff of the Federal Expert Service (FES).

Originally formed as an experiment, the FES has a wide remit: it tests new equipment, trains young specialists and continuously develops the skills and experience of its professional staff. The major focus though, is supporting the investigation of crime. Leading experts in all areas of criminal science work for the FES. They subject the tiniest pieces of evidence to microscopic examination and often take charge of the investigation process, they generate theories for the police to pursue and ultimately, their work brings criminals to justice.

Anyone can ask the FES for help, from senior officers with the prosecutor’s office who deal with high-profile cases like contract killing to young rookies from regional police stations. The Experts help them both. They will reveal the secrets of the most important pieces of evidence to uncover a criminal and lead the investigation in the right direction.
