Today’s forensic laboratories are held to very high standards, and for good reason.  In the era of the “CSI Effect”, juries expect to be dazzled with the results of physical evidence examinations.  The fact that these results are so powerful in a courtroom makes it imperative that they should be accurate and based on scientific facts.  FoCoSS Forensics will ensure that this has been done.

In an ever-changing field, FoCoSS Forensics strives to stay ahead of the curve with regards to the National Academy of Sciences’ (NAS) report "Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward,” as well as, the resulting proposed Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Reform Act from the office of Senator Patrick Leahy.
