The Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) Team of the Bundeskriminalamt
The impressions and experiences made by the officers sent to Tenerife in 1972 to identify the victims of the aircraft crash in Santa-Cruz lead to the deployment of a Disaster Victim Identification Team at the Federal Criminal Police Office as the central agency of criminal police in Germany.
Since that time, the DVI Team has carried out a total of 33 operations in Germany and abroad, 19 of them were in connection with aviation disasters. The DVI Team has examined a total of 1983 victims so far; 1895 of them have positively been identified.
