Mission
The Association's mission is to promote the development and use of precision measurement systems, techniques and software in the generation of two- or three-dimensional coordinate spatial data for documentation, planning, analysis and/or presentation purposes in the service of justice.
As an association whose focus touches on a broad spectrum of specialized forensic and security applications, we welcome membership and input from all specialties. This to ensure that all information gathered is shared with those who will benefit from it most.
