DIBRUGARH, March 10: Dibrugarh Police on Tuesday conducted a specialised training programme on fingerprint development and lifting at the Police Reserve in Dibrugarh, aimed at bolstering the forensic capabilities of investigating officers across all police stations in the district.
The training brought together investigating officers from every police station in Dibrugarh district under one roof, providing them with hands-on knowledge and practical skills in one of the most fundamental yet critical disciplines of forensic science. The session focused on the identification, development and proper lifting of fingerprints from crime scenes, a technique that often forms the cornerstone of criminal investigations and serves as decisive evidence in courts of law.

Tuesday’s training is part of a broader and accelerating push by Dibrugarh Police to modernise its investigative apparatus. It builds on an earlier landmark development on February 1, when the district police inducted a state-of-the-art Mobile Forensic Van sourced from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Guwahati.
The van, equipped with advanced tools for DNA sampling, fingerprint lifting, blood spatter analysis and ballistic evidence examination, enables forensic experts to conduct scientific examinations directly at crime scenes — drastically reducing delays caused by transporting evidence to centralised laboratories.
