2 months ago, 7News told you about the major Canadian donation of the Integrated Ballistic Identification Systems - known as IBIS - which is the very latest in Ballistics technology.
But what good is an upgrade in technology if there is no one who knows how to use the machine?
Well, 2 Belizeans have just returned from Mexico after receiving specialized training in forensic ballistics, which occurred from November 22 to 26.
They took part in an intensive 5-day crash-course in various aspects of ballistics imaging and a working knowledge of the IBIS system.
With this training, these 2 Belizeans will be able to enhance prosecution resources by helping to provide ballistics evidence in firearm related crimes.
Talks are already ongoing about the continuation of these courses, and an exchange of knowledge and techniques in ballistics.
