CSI Mobile Help

The Carlson Software Investigation for Mobile devices (CSI Mobile) program is a feature-rich and powerful data collection tool designed for law enforcement professionals and permits the digital recording of measurements in the field utilizing the same high-precision equipment and algorithms used by professional land surveyors. Although CSI Mobile has been derived from Carlson SurvCE™, the program has been re-worked by law enforcement members of the Cincinnati Police Department for use by the entire law enforcement community.
