FORENSIC LABORATORY BEING ESTABLISHED TO IMPROVE INVESTIGATIONS IN A&B, OECS

Antigua and Barbuda is moving closer to opening its own forensic laboratory.

The Antigua and Barbuda Forensic Services, ABFS will become fully operational next year and will make solving crimes quicker and more efficient.

It will mean the twin-island state will not need to depend on other countries for certain areas of forensic analysis and is set to make Antigua and Barbuda a hub for forensic sciences in the OECS.
