The workshops strengthen the justice sector’s ability to:

✔️ Identify and classify firearms and ammunition with accuracy.
✔️ Recognize forensic ballistics role in the judicial processes.
✔️ Understand how shooting incidents are reconstructed
✔️ Ensure proper evidence handling in firearms‑related cases.
