To this end, the CiB continued supporting training courses, seminars for investigators and forensic experts throughout the country to enhance their investigative capacities and expertise. In order to facilitate the provision of required specialized equipment in crime investigation, the CiB purchased a video comparator, basic crime scene kits, cameras and expendable items necessary in crime investigation and ballistic examination. To develop practical skills and knowledge of forensic experts across the country, training courses on crime scene management, fingerprint examination and examination of weapons were held in Balykchy town in the Issyk-Kul province for newly recruited experts of the MoI. The trainees passed three exams to become forensic experts. In total 26 police officers successfully completed the training. In addition, training courses on ballistic trace evidence examination and forensic examination of firearms and ammunitions were organized. Local police trainers from the MoI conducted a one-month training course in Osh City for forensic experts from across the country. In total, 30 trainees completed the course.
