Analysis of on-site investigation procedures of firearm attack on a motor vehicle

Djelatnici vojne policije Oružanih snaga Republike Hrvatske i policijski službenici MUP-a proveli su terensku obuku na vojnom poligonu “Josip Jović” u Udbini na način da su simulirali situacije napada pješačkim vatrenim oružjem različitog kalibra na motorno vozilo, nakon čega su proveli očevidne radnje u svrhu uvježbavanja i usavršavanja istih. Autor ovog teksta je iskoristio prikupljene podatke iz provedenih eksperimenata, te je analizirao mehanička oštećenja nastala na površini motornog vozila prilikom ispaljenja streljiva iz svakog vatrenog oružja ponaosob. Analizirani podatci su sažeti u tablicu koja bi uz daljnju nadogradnju mogla postati preliminarni alat pomoću kojeg bi u budućnosti pripadnici očevidnih ekipa bili u mogućnosti prepoznati o kojem se kalibru vatrenog oružja radi odmah po dolasku na mjesto počinjenja kaznenog dijela, što bi uvelike ubrzalo same očevidne radnje i omogućilo operativcima na terenu da u što kraćem roku privedu osumnjičene osobe.Military Police Officers of the Croatian Armed Forces and Ministry of Interior Police Officers conducted field training at the military range "Josip Jović" in Udbina by simulating the situations of attack with hand firearms of different caliber on a motor vehicle, after which they conducted crime scene investigation actions for the purpose of training and perfecting the methods. The author of this text used the collected data from the experiments and analyzed mechanical damage to the surface of a motor vehicle damaged by the projectiles from each fired firearm. The data was analyzed and summarized in a table which with further upgrades could become a preliminary tool for members of the CSI teams would be able to identify which firearm caliber was used upon their arrival at the crime scene, which would greatly speed up the crime scene investigation and allow field operatives to arrest the suspect as soon as possible
