CID director Abd Jalil Hassan said among the strategic plans that are in the pipeline and had been implemented are the use of 3D technology in reconstructing crime scenes to strengthen scientific investigation.

He added that service skills and competencies would also be strengthened through local and overseas courses and training.

“The police will also empower the crime scene investigation unit with the procurement of 33 four-wheel-drive vehicles equipped with investigation assistance equipment at the crime scene,” he said at a media conference after a working visit to the D10 and DNA Databank (D13) divisions at the police training centre (Pulapol) in Cheras today.

Jalil said the digital forensics unit would also be enhanced, in order to become a key player in investigating cybercrime.

“Among the police’s plans are to build digital forensics satellite laboratories in every state police contingent and to set up a sexual cyber forensics laboratory in Bukit Aman,” he said.

He said the enhancements are being carried out to boost the capabilities of the police force’s scientific investigation and simultaneously raise the crime-solving rate, charges and prosecution of cases in court.
