The Multimedia and Image Enhancement Unit (MMIE) was created in 2007. The unit achieved ASCLD/LAB accreditation in the fall of 2011. We accept and analyze analog and digital video and audio and photographic evidence. MMIE also provides duplicates and enhancements, as requested.
Most cases submitted to this unit are for DUI-related charges. Other casework can arise from a variety of investigations. Other investigations include homicides, sexual assaults, and child sexual abuse material.
The unit helps law enforcement retrieve video from crime scenes or related locations. It also provides redactions for the DESPP Legal Affairs Unit.
Also, the Multimedia and Image Enhancement Unit can enhance videos. This can help identify vehicles or persons of interest. MMIE also improves audio files by reducing background noise.
