INDIANAPOLIS — In the ongoing battle against domestic violence, police are testing a new visual tool that might save lives.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department bought six LED cameras called Illumicams that can collect evidence not seen by the naked eye. IMPD is one of a handful of agencies in the nation and the first department in Indiana to order the cameras.

The technology would help officers detect marks and bruises that form below the skin's surface, such as strangulation marks and other bruises in domestic violence cases, said Jennifer Reister, the IMPD domestic violence projects supervisor. The cameras also can detect bodily fluids in sexual assault calls.
