From 13 August to 16 August and from 3 September to 6 September 2023, 2 practical training sessions were conducted within the framework of professional training — “Identifying disaster victims” implemented under the EEA grants programme “International police cooperation and combating crime” project EEZ/TM/2022/7 “Strengthening forensic system and site inspection capacity”. The Ministry of the Interior is the Programme Operator this programme.
The training was also attended by INTERPOL HQ representatives, who shared theoretical and practical knowledge with their experience of identifying disaster victims in different countries around the world. Forensic specialists of the State Police gained the opportunity to test all theoretically acquired knowledge in practice – at the scene of the disaster.
Participants in the training at an improvized temporary morgue carried out documenting the identifying features of the victims of the improvised crash, as well as obtaining fingerprints and DNA.
The final conclusion to which Interpol’s representatives referred was as follows: ‘We are working so that families can recover their loved ones. And we do so with the utmost respect for those who died”.
