In order to promote the exchange between science theory and practice of new technological knowledge, and elevate forensic scientific ability, Central Police University (CPU), Taiwan Academy of Forensic Sciences, Henry C. Lee Forensic Science Foundation and Rotary Club of Yenping Taipei together held the "2013 Forensic Science Seminar" on CPU campus, September 27, 2013.
Dr. Henry C. Lee, an internationally recognized forensic scientific expert, was invited to make a plenary speech of "Modern Trend of Investigational Technology". During the talk, Dr. Lee shared his experience of managing over 8000 cases in combination with learning and investigational reality. Dr. Lee analyzed the trend of future forensic science and stimulated the concept and knowledge of all participants in the field of technological investigation.
Dr. Lee mentioned that the forensic science was just in the early stage of development when he went to the U.S. Only little forensic science had been used in crime investigation. The forensic science in Taiwan has made a great progress in recent years and the goal for the future is to bring the lab to the crime scene but not to bring massive items back to the lab. The new-built College of Police Technology will be able to merge resources of various departments in the school. The direction to integration is what we have been pleased to expect.
