On February 24th, 2017 as promised, the UWP reopened the Forensic Laboratory after it was closed in 2015. The Forensic lab plays a crucial role in crime-solving by providing scientific analysis of physical evidence, which aids in identifying suspects, determining causes of crimes, and securing convictions. The lab analyzes DNA, fingerprints, toxicology, and ballistic evidence, helping to link criminals to crime scenes and ensuring that justice is based on factual and reliable evidence. This enhances the credibility of law enforcement investigations, speeds up the prosecution process, and deters future crimes by improving the chances of conviction, thus contributing to overall public safety.
