The Inspector-General of Police IGP Solomon E. Arase yesterday commissioned the Nigeria Police Forensic Laboratory and Digital Resource Centre at the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID), Abuja
According
to the IG, the facility has a wide variety of applications for the positive
identification of suspects through their fingerprints, iris and facial
recognition functions. It is designed to collect, store, merge and display the
identity of the targeted criminal element even at the scene of crime. The
system can also convert existing manual record of arrested suspects into
digital and searchable format.
In addition, the
Digital Resource Centre was designed to serve as an information processing
centre where outcomes of analysed pieces of forensic evidence or other
specialised policing materials or criminal information are disseminated in the
most secure fashion to other Police Formation. It has the capacity for
accessing over five (5) million Law Enforcement Research materials such as
journals, reports, Force orders, annual reports, forensic books and
publications by renowned Police authors and experts around the world over.
