The goal of the ATENA Program is to improve high-impact crime investigations by strengthening the capacities of criminal analysts and implementing policies and mechanisms which ensure full and optimal participation of analysts within the investigation tetralogy. In collaboration with the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), LAB-CO is developing a Competency Standard recognized by CONOCER, the Mexican National Council for Standardization and Certification of Labor Competencies, and a training program in coordination with the UDLAP Jenkins Graduate School, to standardize roles and responsibilities of analysts in criminal investigations. Additionally, LAB-CO is providing technical assistance to State Prosecutor’s Offices, to improve their capacity to involve criminal analysis in the investigation and prosecution of high-impact crimes.
