Guide for the development of forensic document examination capacity |
||
This Guide aims to provide practical assistance for the establishment or upgrading of forensic document examination capacities in two categories of service providers: (a) immigration and border control agencies and (b) forensic science laboratories. Several levels of infrastructure development ranging from basic to advanced capacity are covered. The focus is on the staff skill and educational requirements needed to perform forensic document examinations and to provide court testimony, intelligence alerts and training. Recommendations on forensic equipment, reference collections and databases as well as general guidance for designing, establishing and maintaining a forensic document examination facility are included. This Guide should not be used as a simple checklist of equipment and materials to be obtained but rather as an aid for developing capacity in the area of document examinations. |
