Other new divisions are also to be developed in the new annex building planned to be constructed in front of the existing complex. With the increasing requirements & demands of the investigating agencies and also as a part of decentralizing Forensic Science services, five Regional Forensic Science Laboratories (RFSLs) were established at five Police ranges. A proposal has been sent to establish a new regional lab at Ballari range.
REGIONAL FORENSIC SCIENCE LABORATORIES As mentioned earlier, with the increasing requirements & demands of the investigating agencies and also as a part of decentralizing Forensic Science services, five Regional Forensic Science Laboratories (RFSLs) were established at five Police ranges:- namely, Davanagere, Mangaluru, Belgavi, Kalaburgi and Mysuru for speedy disposal of cases.

FINGER PRINT BUREAU
The Fingerprint Bureau, Karnataka is a specialized technical unit of Karnataka Police. It serves as an important aid in scientific methods of crime investigation and detection of cases by means of fingerprint identification of criminals. The Fingerprint Bureau with its head quarters in Bengaluru, is headed by an officer of the rank of Superintendent of Police. He is assisted by 10 Deputy Superintendents of Police, 13 Police Inspectors, 04+37(41) Sub Inspectors and other supporting staff against the sanctioned strength of 01 Superintendent of Police, 12 Deputy Superintendents of Police, 36 Police Inspectors, and 51 Sub Inspectors. At present there are 56 Finger Print Experts in the State. The overall administration, control & supervision of all the Deputy Superintendents of Police and the Police Inspectors of City and District Finger Print Units is under the control of the Superintendent of Police, Fingerprint Bureau, Bengaluru. ACHIEVEMENTS OF FPB SO FAR. During the year 2003, the State FPB & FP unit was equipped with the “Automated Finger Print Identification System (AFIS)” and digitization of fingerprints of criminals was done. Since 2005, the Fingerprint Bureau has been functioning in its own complex built at a cost of Rs.92 lakhs. After the implementation of the AFIS technology during the year 2002-03, in the field of chance fingerprint search etc, the fingerprint units in various cities and the districts have so far detected 3188 cases through chance print identification. In all such cases, local police had no other clues and valuable information regarding identification of culprits was
37 provided by fingerprint experts. After comparison of chance prints developed at the crime scene with the data available in the AFIS local and remote database, details were sent to the local Police for apprehension. Fingerprint experts have been regularly using the modern fingerprint equipments supplied to all cities and districts, under the Modernization Scheme over the last 10 to 12 years for better development of chance prints. As on 31-12-2018, the central server of the AFIS has 3,67,256 Ten Print data and 25,855 unidentified chance prints on its database.
Modern equipments have been purchased for developing chance fingerprints at all scenes of crime. These include MCS-400, imported Kit Box, Digital Camera, Cynowand kit & others purchased under the Police modernization scheme and supplied to all finger print units for carrying out their day to day work which has helped immensely in developing chance prints on various surfaces. This database and application of technology has enabled detection of cases of homicide, dacoity, robbery, house breaking and theft. In the year 2018 a total of 257 cases and 14 unidentified dead body cases were identified.
In several instances of chance print identification, information regarding identity of culprits was provided within one or two hours from the time of visit of Fingerprint Expert’s team and enabled the I.O. to recover the entire property.
The Fingerprint Bureau issues opinion in forged documents of Civil & Criminal cases referred to the Fingerprint Bureau by the Hon’ble Courts and various Police stations of Karnataka and other agencies like CBI, BDA, Lokayuktha, Postal Department etc., to establish the identity of persons on the basis of their fingerprints affixed by them on certain sensitive documents, like Sale and Agreement Deeds, wills, gift deed, muster rolls, bank loan applications. impersonation, forgery of documents, misappropriation and cheating of government funds could be corrected after comparison of disputed finger prints with the admitted/specimen finger prints. During the year 2018, 82 such questioned document cases have been opinioned & disposed.
At present, during 2018 to upgrade the AFIS installed at FPB. Bengaluru, a tender process was held to procure new AFIS 2.0 and M/s. NEC India Pvt. Ltd., Company were became L1 and hence, a Work Order was given to them to upgrade AFIS at FPB/FP Units. In the meantime, 65 New Live Scanners were procured and allotted to State Police Stations and the installation process is under progress. 367 Police Stations (including 102 police stations in Bangaluru city) in the state are equipped with live scanners, where finger prints of suspected, arrested & convicted persons are taken in digital form and the search of finger prints is done online and results provided to police stations within a very short time. In the year 2018, 980 Police officers and staff were trained in finger print science.
