The  NBI avails of significant stride in Forensics 

        The   daunting   task  of  law  enforcement  demands  the  best  of  men   and  the  most  from  them.  Beyond  these  fine  qualities  is  the  need  for  appropriate  modern technology   that  fortify  findings  in  crime  investigation.   The  aim is  to ensure  the  incontrovertibility  of  an  evidence  which  is  essential  in   investigation.

 

        At  this  time  when  diverse  sectors  of  the global community  avails of  technological strides,  expectedly, so do  law  enforcement  worldwide. And  among  the  significant  forensic  advances  that  has  caught  human  interest  is   the  DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC  ACID  (DNA). 

 

        Pursuant  to its mandate   as  an  investigative  agency   and  in  keeping  with  its  vowed  thrust  of  maintaining  quality service, the  National  Bureau  of  Investigation  (NBI) took cognizant  of  the  DNA  as  a  truly modern  facility  in  aid  of investigation.

 

        In 1996,  the  NBI  procured  its  first  DNA machine,  310  Genetic Analyzer  with  one (1) capilliary.  It  functioned  well  and  served  its  purpose  on  many  occasions up  to the present.  Thereafter,  in  2006,  under  the  directorship  of  Atty. Nestor  M. Mantaring,  the  Bureau  acquired  another  set  of  DNA   facility, a 3130 Genetic  Analyzer  with  four  (4)  capilliaries  in  addition   to  the   first one. This   DNA   machine   is   upgraded   and   upgradable.
