Ulrich, Ph. D., Manager, ApplicationsResearch, Scientific Instruments Division, Beckman Instruments, Inc.,Dated June 27, 1970Scientific methods have numerous applications in law enforcement programsincluding the detection and determination of narcotics and dangerous drugs. Yet,utilization of modern technology still falls short of its potential in this field. Iappreciate the opportunity to comment on this point and to discuss areas in whichpositive action might be taken.To a large extent my remarks are based upon discussions with individualsfrom various law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Almost withoutexception, these people have been cordial and most helpful in describing theneeds and practices in their diverse operations. From their comments it is obviousthat narcotics and dangerous drugs, which only a few years ago were encounteredrather infrequently, now represent a major factor in their daily workloads.Furthermore, the problem is not restricted to major population centers but canbe found in virtually all sections of the country. To combat this, mre effectivemethods are needed for handling the large number of samples processed eachday. Even more desirable is the development of new technology which will providean effective means for halting production and preventing distribution ofillicit materials.In evaluating technology in this regard, several distinct areas merit consideration.The first and perhaps simplest of these is to improve the utilization oftechniques and methods which have already been developed within this field.In an age when communications permit instant transmittal of information andcomputers can be used for storage and retrieval, much of the technical informationwithin the law enforcement field still follows a relatively slow and haphazardpath. Several publications are devoted to this purpose but even with theseinformation is often delayed. Even worse is the fact that much of the informationeither is not published at all or is published in journals or internal publicationswhich are not readily available to other workers. Certainly this is notan insurmountable problem but it does require an organized program whichw^ould encompass all efforts in this field.A related area to be considered is the utilization of technology developed inother disciplines. Many of the techniques and metbod^ applied for the lifesciences, space research, environmental control, and other areas can serveequally well in the law enforcement field. In fact, this has been the basis formuch of the technology now in use. However, for this to be truly effective,greater contact with these disciplines must be fostered.In both of these areas, there should be greater opportunity for law enforcementscientists to devote time to development efforts. With present workloads.
