Throughout this process Turkey is supported by the EU through the Instrument for Pre Accession Assistance (IPA). The project which is part of the 2008 IPA programme, will support the expansion of the forensic capacity of the law enforcement services through the construction of four forensic science laboratories in line with standards and best practices in EU members states. The Beneficiaries of the project are the Turkish National Police, Department of Criminal Police Laboratories (KPL) and the Turkish Gendarmerie General Command, Gendarmerie Forensic Department (JKDB). Both institutions function under the Ministry of Interior (MOI). The model forensics laboratories will be established in the following cities: Adana, Diyarbakır, İzmir for KPL and İstanbul for JKDB. The overall objective of this assignment is assisting the EC Delegation (ECD) in its efforts to support Turkey in strengthening the functioning of the judicial system through supporting the forensic capacity of the law enforcement agencies in Turkey.
