The facility is equipped with computers and gadgets for identification of crime suspects through their fingerprints, iris and facial recognition applications and also collect, store, merge and display the identity of wanted criminals. Arase, while inaugurating the centre at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, said the facility is a traditional scientific investigation tool of police departments all over the world. He noted that modern policing is driven by the application of technology, forensic science, intelligence and citizens’ consent. Arase said the resource centre has the capacity for accessing over five million law enforcement research materials such as journals, reports, Force orders, annual reports, forensic books and publications by renowned police authors and experts around the world. He explained that from the digital resource centre, officers can conduct research on any facet of policing through the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Department portal also connected to the INTERPOL Global Learning Centre in Singapore. He added that: “With this system, the Nigeria Police is not only set to comply with the provisions of the Administration of Justice Act, 2015, to capture and remit to the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, all biometrics of suspected persons arrested by the police. “But also put the police in a position to key into the Presidential directive that all data capturing government agencies should harmonize and integrate personal identities captured by such agencies on or before the end of 2016.]]>
