The present quality of the DVI System is a result of Interpol’s standard systems with its relevant standard forms which combined with a dental page of the IT program for dental clinics vi made years ago, make up the software program which was introduced to Interpol’s member states for the first time in 1995.
In 1987, we introduced a specialised IT program for dentists. The odontology program is an important element of the DVI System. Shortly afterwards a contact was established with the Danish Police Force who saw a great potential in using the odontology program as an important asset to Interpol’s general identification procedures, including the general identification forms which are used for identification of dead victims.
In 1995, a new collaboration was initiated involving representatives of the Norwegian and Danish Police Forces in co-operation with Plass Data Software A/S. The goal was to develop an IT system for the identification of victims of major accidents. The program is based on Interpol’s DVI System, (Disaster Victim Identification Forms), which has been developed and is currently revised by the Missing and Wanted Persons Search Squad of the Danish Police Force in close collaboration with Interpol’s Standing Committee on Disaster Victim Identification and Plass Data Software A/S.

The DVI System has proved its indisputable quality many times in many countries. In 1996 the DVI System was used to identify victims from two plane crashes in the Faroe Islands and Spitsbergen. In the 1996 Report of the Danish Police Force the two plane crashes and the use of the DVI System is described in details.
In 2005 the program was used in the centre for the Tsunami Victim Identification in Thailand. During this task the system underwent considerable development and improvement in collaboration with DVI teams and experts from all over the world. |
