In what could infuse greater professionalism into investigation, protection of crime scene and its reconstruction, Karnataka is set to have a separate cadre of ‘scene of crime officers’, a first in the country. The pool will create resources who specialise in identification, collection and preservation of evidence at the scene of crime, and identifying, recording and collecting evidence at the crime scene. The officers will have an equivalent rank of police sub-inspector and will be part of the Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratories. Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa will give an official order on Tuesday to recruit 206 officers.More Related News
