It is noteworthy that this certificate is one of the basic requirements of the strategic initiative for the electronic FEDLIMS System project for information management at the Forensic Evidence Department. This project is part of the strategic initiative aimed to improve the capabilities of forensic laboratories so as to be able to respond effectively to the demands of the criminal work through the application of the “information and resources management system”- making it the first of its kind in the region.
