Background Information
Forensic science is a vital public service and core duty of government. Access to quality forensic analysis dramatically improves the investigation of criminal activity, leading to the exoneration of the innocent and the prosecution of the guilty. Forensic science plays a critical role in public outreach and crime prevention, and is evolving in its role as an important member of the criminal justice community. Crime scene investigators, forensic examiners, and forensic scientists provide unbiased, accurate, and reliable analyses of evidence recovered from across the nation. Numerous professional organizations have recognized September 15-21, 2019 as National Forensic Science Week. The hard-working people that compose our forensic science organizations deserve universal regard and appreciation for their commitment to proper scientific investigations for the cause of justice.
