FBI Forensic Services
The successful investigation and prosecution of crimes require, in most cases, the collection, preservation, and forensic analysis of evidence. Forensic analysis of evidence is often crucial to determinations of guilt or innocence.
The FBI has one of the largest and most comprehensive forensic laboratories in the world. The forensic services of the FBI Laboratory Division and the Investigative Technology Division are available to the following:
* FBI field offices and Legal Attaches.
* U.S. attorneys, military tribunals, and other federal agencies for civil and criminal matters.
* State, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies in the United States and territorial possessions for criminal matters.
