During a ceremony at the Royal St. Lucia Police Force’s Headquarters on January 18, 2016 a ‘Forensic Latent Fingerprint Kit’ was handed over to St. Lucia’s Acting Commissioner of Police Errol Alexander and his crime scene experts by Dr. Maurice Aboud, Chief Forensic & Criminalistic Officer at ASSL and Lab Director at Caribbean Forensic Services Limited. Commissioner Alexander highlighted that the ‘Forensic Latent Fingerprint Kit’ was specifically selected by RSLPF’s experts to complement the current crime scene armoury. St. Lucia’s ACP Crime Milton Desir stated that there is no doubt that this vital tool will enhance the crime scene investigative capabilities of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force. Dr. Aboud affirmed that this kit will be useful indeed to collect evidence in a manner in which such evidence can be upheld in court and lead to conviction. (In St. Lucia ASSL operates as ‘Alternative Security Services Limited’.)
In response to the Caribbean region’s need for advanced forensic services, Amalgamated Security Services Limited (ASSL) established ‘Caribbean Forensic Services Limited’ - a special purpose company to further support the regional fight against crime. At the Intersessional Meeting of the Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police (ACCP) in December 2014, ASSL then launched its ‘Forensic Investigations Support Programme – F.I.S.P.’. On a yearly basis, every Caribbean Commissioner of Police has the opportunity to select a forensic kit of their choice from a list provided by Caribbean Forensic Services Limited and to receive it free of charge. Various Police Forces have already received their kits of choice. For further information on the programme, please contact Dr. Maurice Aboud at 868-391-0008 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
