To enhance the investigators’ expertise in Crime Scene Management (CSM) and preservation of the integrity of a scene, the DCI and the German Cooperation GIZ have partnered in providing a series of CSM trainings to DCI’s general investigators deployed across the country.
The highly coveted program which outlines the roles of 1st responders to a scene of crime, preservation of the scene, modes of collecting and packaging exhibits in active scenes started with the first batch of 22 detectives at the DCI Academy.
The participants assembled for the week-long intensive training on October 25, ahead of similar groups that will benefit from the partnership.
Terming the program as a major boost to DCI’s endeavour to sharpen the investigative capacity of detectives under its umbrella, the Commandant DCI Academy, Ms Zipporah Mboroki, CP, says the training could not have come at a better time, owing to the recent upsurge in homicides, serious assaults and other crimes of passion.
