Know about First Forensic Science University in Bengaluru
According to sources the Forensic Science University will be open to general students too. "It will be like any other university but entirely dedicated to forensic technology with advanced equipment. Reddy said "It will also offer courses besides supporting the home department in detecting some of the complex cases. Police personnel, from the ranks of constables to IPS officers, will be sent to the University for training in modern-day forensics".
In Bengaluru, police are increasingly relying on forensics to crack crimes and build a watertight case against criminals. In 2009, the forensic laboratories in Bengaluru and five other ranges dealt with 1,373 cases that had 63509 exhibits; by 2016, the corresponding numbers had zoomed to 20,031 cases with 1,19,307 exhibits. The university is likely to come up in Bengaluru, Mysuru or Hubballi. Money for the proposed university will be allocated in the 2018-19 state budget.
Moreover
Home minister Ramalinga Reddy said experts and senior police officers had
suggested that a full-fledged forensic university is set up in Karnataka.
"Of late, there have been changes in the nature of crimes and conmen have
been increasingly adopting technology to escape from the clutches of the law.
If we equip and train our police personnel in similar technology, such culprits
can easily be traced and brought to book.
