The Ghana Police Service (GPS), with the support of the DCI (International Cooperation Directorate) of the Embassy of France to Ghana, is hosting Police Chiefs across the sub region to a visit of its forensic science laboratory.
During the laboratory visit, West Africans Police officers from Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and Nigeria will be invited to share their experience. The aim is to create a real West African forensic experts network, with the support of the regional Interpol bureau of Abidjan (RCI).
The laboratory, inaugurated in November 2011, was funded by the European Union and is one the most modern science laboratory in West Africa.
This visit of the laboratory is being organized with the support of the French ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development, through its regional assistance program to the fight against the cocaine trafficking in West Africa, named FSP ALCAO. Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria are beneficiaries of this four years program.
