Scientific Study from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, language: English, abstract: As a result of recent terrorist attacks in Qatar, where a Chechen leader was killed in a car explosion and where a theater in Doha, Qatar was attacked, it has become clear that the government needs to gain stronger capabilities in addressing such problems. One of several efforts being undertaken by the Ministry of Interior as well as other organizations and agencies is to enhance its crime fighting capabilities. Hence, the Forensic Laboratory Department, Ministry of Interior, Qatar developed and implemented a training program. The training program consisted of three main components, lecture and Power Point based knowledge training, skills training with simulated explosions, and a final test. The trainees were exposed to both practical as well as theoretical skills and knowledge on crime scenes, including training with advanced technology used with forensic analysis. Upon completion of the program, the trainees performed a simulated explosion investigation with the Minister of the Interior, Qatar, in attendance. The experiment reveals that despite many trainees succeeding with the program that there are concerns related to the training that must be further explored to improve future training efforts and initiatives.
