BAGHDAD — “There is no such thing as a perfect crime, as there are always clues left behind” is a phrase that is often echoed in police circles all around the world. Detectives and analysts say a good forensics investigation will always lead to the perpetrator.

By unveiling the National Forensics Academy in Baghdad Oct. 2, the Iraqi Police told the world the same rings true in Iraq and they are committed to training their crime scene investigators in forensics.

The ceremony featured a walk-through of the academy and showcased new crime scene investigation equipment. Iraqi Police Capt. Sabah, an 11-year forensics investigator and one of the academy’s instructors, said the new academy will train the police in many new methods to detect and investigate crime.
