Belize's National Forensic Science Service is about to receive a few upgrades with the help of the US Government.
Last Tuesday, the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding for expansion of infrastructure and technical training within the National Science Service. Under this "Forensic Crime Scene Office Project," the US Government will support the construction of three Scenes of Crime offices, equip the offices with new forensic equipment, and provide training and advisory services for domestic technicians.
Also, new offices will be allocated in Belmopan, Dangriga, and Ladyville in order to meet workspace requirements. This will pave the way for Belize's international accreditation by July 2022. The U.S.-funded Forensic Crime Scene Office Project is valued at over 750,000 Belize Dollars.
