Contracts signed to upgrade police forensic lab

Two years after a fire at the Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory destroyed several electrical outlets, a $16.5 million contract has been awarded for the execution of remedial work for the facility’s electrical system.

Project Manager Clement Henry informed that this is the first of three projects to improve the capacity of the lab, in keeping with the police force’s national crime fighting strategy.

A signing ceremony was held yesterday for a number of contracts. However the awardee for the lab contract was unavailable.
