Abstract
Police regularly use GPR to uncover buried caches of drugs, money, weapons as well as locate unmarked graves. GPR's versatility and sensitivity to buried objects has lead to an ever widening use in forensics. While GPR does not deliver the fantasy results portrayed on some TV shows, GPR can provide powerful insight to forensics specialists needing to conduct non-destructively detailed subsurface site investigations.
