The crime scenario is changing rapidly all around the globe. The nature of crime and criminals has changed considerably due to the advent of globalization, economic liberalization, the communication revolution etc. This has not only resulted in effecting substantial alterations in the dynamics of crime and criminal behaviour but has also brought formidable challenges for the Criminal Justice System in making our society safe. Forensic Science is a branch of science that deals with methods of gathering and examining evidence about the crime committed and then used in a court of law. Especially, in India, owing to the alarmingly increasing crime rate, it is high time to bring sophisticated scientific methods involving frontier areas of applied science and technology, manned by qualified academicians and scientists to solve high-tech crimes. In the process of ensuring global competency, it seeks to ensure quality Forensic Science education and research facilities for students and scholars. This vision is achieved by commencing M.Sc. programme in Forensic Science at the  Kerala Police Academy (KEPA) under the aegis of the University of Calicut in 2019. The University of Calicut received NOC from the Higher Education Department, Government of Kerala for commencing this programme and as per the MoU between the University of Calicut and the KEPA, this two-year regular post-graduate programme of M.Sc. in Forensic Science is being conducted at the KEPA campus at Ramavarmapuram, Thrissur, Kerala. This is one of its kind of programmes in the country where a University is conducting a course in collaboration with a Police Department inside the Police Academy. Every year five Police personnel are also being post-graduated along with other fifteen civilians through this course. This programme ensures the moulding of skilled scientific investigators through continuous education and training in the collection, handling and analysis of evidence for justice.
