This can link suspects to the crime scene or clear them if their prints are not found. This analysis is handled by the **Fingerprint Sciences** department of Victoria Police. 2. **DNA Testing:** Compares DNA found on the evidence to known profiles. This method can definitively connect a suspect or victim to the crime scene. DNA testing is conducted by the **Biological Sciences** and **DNA Management** departments of Victoria Police. 3. **Shoe Size Matching:** Compares shoe prints or moulds found at the crime scene to the shoe sizes of potential suspects. This can help identify individuals who were present based on their footwear. This analysis is typically handled by the **Major Crime Scene Investigation** department of Victoria Police. 4. **Glass Fragment Examination:** Analyzes glass shards or fragments found at the scene to determine their origin and how they might relate to the crime. This can provide clues about how the crime was committed. Glass examination is handled by the **Chemical Trace** and **Major Crime Scene Investigation** departments of Victoria Police. 5. **Blood Sample Analysis:** Tests blood samples to determine their origin, which can provide crucial information about the events that took place. This analysis is conducted by the **Biological Sciences** and **Chemical, Biological and Radiological/Disaster Victim Identification** departments of Victoria Police. 6. **Ballistics Test:** Examines firearms and ammunition to determine if a particular weapon was used in the crime. This can link a gun to a specific shooting event. This test is performed by the **Ballistics** department of Victoria Police. **Note that if you can perform both a DNA and blood analysis, the DNA analysis won't give any results relating to the blood. ** --- **Detailed Analysis for Each Evidence Type:** (if: $evidence_kitchen_all is 1)[ -
