Inacif will have a new and modern headquarters with more than 27 thousand meters in SDE

The land is located on Ecological Avenue, El Valiente sector, Santo Domingo Este.

Santo Domingo.- The Attorney General's Office (PGR) began the implementation of a modernization plan for the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (Inacif), with the purpose of improving its operability and making the services it offers to the justice system and citizens more efficient, by signing an agreement where they will have more than 27,000 square meters for their research and morgue areas. With that purpose, the Attorney General of the Republic, Yeni Berenice Reynoso, signed with Rafael Burgos Gómez, head of the General Directorate of National Assets (DGBN) and honorary head of the State Sugar Council (CEA), a usufruct contract that will allow the Inacif to have a plot of land of more than 27,000 square meters (more than 44 tareas) for its research and morgue areas. Reynoso valued the delivery of the property, while highlighting that the initiative seeks to provide the country with a space to have that "dreamed Inacif", with facilities at the level of the capabilities of its highly qualified technical staff dedicated to their work.

"Crime, without a doubt, has become more sophisticated, not only in the Dominican Republic, but internationally. In no case should we allow institutions like the Public Ministry, which constitutionally has the responsibility of prosecution, not to have a National Institute of Forensic Sciences that is always more technologically advanced to perform the expert examinations of those criminal actions that we are called to investigate," he said.

He recalled that forensic science is an indispensable tool for a rule of law, therefore, it contributes to the construction of a better democracy. He pointed out that Inacif is not limited to the Public Ministry. "From the beginning, in our case, we have dreamed and wanted a National Institute of Forensic Sciences that is a model, not only in the Dominican Republic, as an institution of excellence, but also an Inacif that can be a model for the world," he expressed. He highlighted that the Dominican Republic has top-level forensic science professionals, therefore he valued the delivery of the property to continue advancing.

“In order to realize this dream, this strategic goal, a location was needed, a place, and in that sense, we approached Doctor Burgos, asking him the possibility of locating that place, and I want to acknowledge that his openness was total and immediate,” he expressed.

He expressed his confidence that in a short and reasonable time the institution will have a new and spacious headquarters. Its large land will allow for the necessary parking, including a landscaped and forested environment that will help to revalue the municipality where it will be installed with quick access to the wide highways of the area.
