Forensic science degrees for cops

Zimbabwe will soon offer degree programmes in Forensic Science for members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to strengthen measures in combating crime.

This comes as the country made history on Tuesday following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the University of Zimbabwe in the establishment of a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree programme in Forensic Science.

University of Zimbabwe (UZ) Pro-Vice Chancellor (Academic Affairs) Professor Pedzisai Mashiri said the forensic degree programme would intensify investigation operations nationwide. Mashiri said forensic science was gaining momentum worldwide.
