Department for Criminal Technique • The Department for criminal technique is one of the organizational units within the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MoI). • The work of this institution composes of providing material evidences, necessary to initiate investigation procedure. For this purpose, the personnel at the Department performs numerous appropriate analysis and according to the received results prepare criminal expert testimonies. • When necessary, the experts take part in crime scene investigations, as well as in court proceedings acting as experts in the field of their work. • The expert testimonies are conducted upon request in most of the cases of the regional Sectors and Sections of Internal Affairs, but also upon requests by the Courts and the Public Prosecutors. • The Department is divided in several organizational units (sectors, sections, divisions) each of them with its appropriate tasks and competencies.
The Department consists of: _____________________________ 2 researchers with PhD, 5 with MSc , 42 with BSc degree, others with a high-school diploma • From the 42 members with university degree, 60% are with natural and technical sciences, 40% are with social sciences degree.
