Neumann University’s dedication to excellence permeates the campus. From academics and athletics to career preparation and global experiences, we teach students what it takes to succeed.

### **New Forensics Lab Will Assist Law Enforcement**

Neumann University opened a new, high-tech forensics lab on May 2, 2024, the result of a yearlong collaboration with the Delaware County District Attorney’s office and the Aston Police Department.

Funded by a federal grant of $258,000, the lab will give law enforcement throughout the county the tools to investigate crimes quickly – by analyzing seized digital devices, examining video surveillance recordings at crime scenes, and monitoring live video cameras during real-time crime.

Located in the Abessinio Building on Neumann’s campus, the forensics lab will also provide valuable internship opportunities for students who major in cybersecurity, criminal justice, and a variety of other majors. Interns in the lab will have experience working on real criminal cases to include in their resumes.

Cutting-edge technology in the new facility includes a $15,000 Sumuri computer that is custom-made for forensics; a Faraday box to isolate and preserve seized cell phones and laptops; license plate reader software; and three large monitors (one measuring 65 inches) to view video feeds.
