Kolkata: Thirty-two Police Officers – Inspector and Sub-Inspector of the Nine Police Division – have begun to receive special training from this week to collect basic forensic evidence in crime.
These officers, to be posted with the division, will be the first respondent of any crime.
Their work is to ensure that they maintain basic forensic evidence and secure the area before the forensic team of laboratories reaches the place.
Photography of crime scenes will be one main job for this officer.
This is the first batch of training.
Lalbazar plans to train at least two officers at each police station about gathering forensic evidence.
“There is a process set in requiring a forensic team to the scene, and the delay produced can be 24 hours.
Without a collection of immediate evidence, the Probe team bears the risk of losing vital instructions.
Division forensic teams can reach points quickly and reduce the possibility of losing instructions forever .
These people will also be trained in using a basic forensic kit, “said the police source.
According to sources, the wings of the forensic knowledge are responsible for conducting police checks Kolkata, the City Police of Howrah and the cases of Bidhannagar City Police.
But because the number of experts is limited, attending the points immediately not always possible for them.
Thus, some evidence can be damaged or removed naturally.
According to experts, investigations involve the collection and examination of evidence on the crime scene.
“Evidence is the key to the probe including fingerprints, hair, fiber or DNA, which is then taken to a crime laboratory for analysis.
Now there is an important technical analysis too and taking gadgets for the purpose is important.
TKP investigator training will teach these officers about various The type of evidence they might encounter in the field.
The police will learn about the types of evidence they will be looking for, and then about all aspects of detection, collection, identification, transportation, and how to maintain the chain of prisoners until they submit evidence to the laboratory for analysis, “said the source police.
