Belmopan police are preparing a room at the police station specially outfitted to conduct identification parades. The room will be equipped with a one-way mirror where witnesses can identify accused persons without having to face them directly. Capital police say that facing of the witness has caused many cases to fail because witnesses were afraid to take part in an open ID parade.
They say that with this new project, the identity of witnesses will be protected and the conviction rate will increase.
