Criminal analysis and investigation

Criminal Analysis and Investigation

At LAB-CO, we believe that analysis and investigation are fundamental pillars for addressing crime and violence in a strategic and effective way. That is why we work with prosecutors’ offices and police agencies to strengthen their analytical capacities, technical skills, and investigative methodologies.

We promote processes that make it possible to understand crime patterns, identify key actors and risk dynamics, and use evidence to guide operational decisions and criminal justice policy. Our purpose is to help security and justice institutions act more effectively, strategically, and responsibly, generating investigations that not only solve cases but also prevent new acts of violence and crime.
