The Fiji Police Force has started using the Automated Finger Printing Identification Machine that will ensure quicker response time when dealing with crime scenes and Court cases.
This is after installing the $3 million electronic device which was today launched by Minister for Intelligence Ratu Epeli Ganilau and Commissioner of Police Commodore Esala Teleni.
Director Forensic Services, SP Iliesa Bula said this million dollar machine is a blessing as this will eliminate human error and the backlog of cases when dealing with crime scenes.
SP Bula also adds that the system has two purposes and will not only deal with faster response time at crime scenes but it will also contain all the past records of criminal activities on individuals.
According to Commissioner Teleni, the AFIS will see officers able to identify criminals very fast and also see a decrease in crime as Police will be able to keep tabs on all re-known criminals.
