FBI shares best practices in forensics with cops

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Defence in partnership with Bangladesh Police Staff College concluded a five-day long training for law enforcers focusing on crime scene management and evidence collection techniques yesterday.
The training took place at the Police Staff College in the city, said a press release of the American embassy.
Forty-one officers from Dhaka Metropolitan Police, the Special Branch of Police, Detective Branch, and Criminal Investigative Branch participated in the training.
Six FBI members and one expert from Department of Defence participated in the training to discuss the best practices on a variety of crime scene issues with the participants.
They discussed on crime scene administration and management, body fluid and blood collection, crime scene photography, DNA evidence collection, hair and fiber collection, latent fingerprints, and human remains recovery.
The FBI's acting Attaché in Bangladesh Nathan Surface said, “The evolving nature of transnational crimes requires an array of sophisticated tools, specialised examination, and scientific methods to ensure that culprits are successfully brought to justice. I have seen cases after cases where forensic evidence has made a difference such as excluding individuals from suspicion and identifying those responsible for the crimes."
Ambassador Dan W Mozena said “Transnational criminals and their organisations know no borders. This training is an example of how the US and Bangladesh can work together to enhance our shared capabilities and fight a threat that is faced by every country.”
