Smytec takes BlindSite to the IALEIA Conference in the U.S.

Apr 27 2026•1 min read

Smytec is continuing its international outreach for BlindSite as team members Alex and Natalia attend the IALEIA (International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts) conference in the United States.

The event brings together professionals working across law enforcement intelligence, forensic investigation and prosecution workflows, creating an important opportunity for collaboration and industry insight. For Smytec, attending IALEIA is about more than showcasing technology — it is an opportunity to listen directly to the fingerprint and forensic community to better understand the challenges frontline professionals face every day.

BlindSite has been developed to support more objective, accurate and efficient forensic workflows, helping strengthen processes across fingerprint analysis and prosecution environments. Events like IALEIA provide valuable opportunities to gather feedback, discuss emerging challenges and explore how technology can continue evolving to meet operational needs.

As BlindSite gains visibility internationally, Smytec continues to strengthen relationships across the forensic and law enforcement sectors while expanding conversations around innovation, collaboration and real-world application.

Attendees at the IALEIA conference are encouraged to connect with Alex and Natalia to learn more about BlindSite and discuss the future of forensic technology and intelligence-led investigation.

Supporting innovation in U.S. law enforcement

Shelby Township Police Department joins a growing community of forward-thinking agencies exploring new ways to make forensic evidence recovery simpler, faster, and more reliable.

Early operational use of BlindSite by Lakewood Police Department has already demonstrated the technology’s versatility across different forensic applications. This has included visualising tattoos on a decomposed body to support victim identification and recovering a fingermark from a vehicle that produced a positive result against the state’s AFIS database, where traditional powder processing had not produced a match.

Dr Alexander Smyth, CEO of Smytec, said:

“What excites us most is the outstanding results these agencies are achieving in such a short time. Lakewood Police Department has already demonstrated BlindSite’s versatility across victim identification and fingermark recovery. These outcomes highlight the technology’s adaptability across a wide range of forensic applications and its ability to integrate into existing workflows.”.

Growing momentum across the United States

The latest deployment reflects increasing interest from U.S. agencies seeking forensic technology that can strengthen evidence recovery without introducing additional chemical processing or disrupting existing workflows.

As BlindSite’s U.S. presence continues to expand, Smytec remains focused on supporting law enforcement teams through practical training, close collaboration, and continued operational learning.

Smytec looks forward to working with Shelby Township Police Department and seeing how the team applies BlindSite across future investigations.
