Established in 1952 as the second statewide Crime Laboratory in the United States, the Division of Forensic Sciences furnishes scientific support to the Criminal Justice System of Georgia. Laboratory scientists and technicians in specialized disciplines collect, analyze, and interpret all aspects of physical evidence for officers, investigators, and District Attorneys throughout the state. The analyses employ the most recent scientific technologies and are performed on highly sophisticated instrumentation. Scientists are often required to present their findings in the form of expert courtroom testimony. Statewide availability of laboratory services are made possible through the headquarters laboratory in Decatur and regional laboratories in Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Moultrie, Savannah and Summerville.

New York State DNA Databank The NYS DNA Databank and CODIS (the Combined DNA Index System) The NYS DNA Databank became fully operational in April 2000. The Databank is part of a national system called CODIS , a searchable software program with three hierarchical tiers of the DNA Index System (DIS) - local (LDIS), state (SDIS), and national (NDIS). The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) serves as the NDIS connection and links New York State with other participating states. This tiered approach allows individual state and local agencies to operate their respective DNA databases according to applicable state law and local policy. In New York State there are eight LDIS DNA laboratories. The State Police Forensic Investigation Center (FIC) in Albany serves as a LDIS site for forensic casework performed at the FIC and as the SDIS laboratory for New York State. All LDIS laboratories maintain a Forensic Index which is comprised of DNA profiles from crime scene evidence submitted by the agencies they serve. These profiles are routinely inter-compared in order to identify and link criminal incidents that may involve the same perpetrator. The SDIS database at the State Police FIC contains forensic DNA profiles uploaded by each of the LDIS laboratories and enables inter-comparisons of crime scene evidence DNA profiles among the participating LDIS laboratories in New York State and across the country.

INQUIRY 2000 A Helping Hand for Midwest Crime Labs By Susan Dieterle In the Midwest, as in most of the United States, crime laboratories struggle with growing caseloads, personnel shortages and a chronic space crunch. Criminalists are challenged with analyzing evidence as quickly as possible, leaving them little time to develop new equipment and techniques that could enhance the speed and accuracy of their investigations. That's where Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University's Institute for Physical Research and Technology hope to come in. The two organizations are collaborating on a proposal to establish a regional forensics support and research facility at ISU. The proposed Midwest Forensics Resource Center would draw on the expertise of faculty and staff members at Ames Laboratory and IPRT, a network of multidisciplinary research and technology-development centers on the ISU campus. Ames Lab is part of the IPRT network. The forensics proposal received $44,000 in seed funding from IPRT to begin developing the partnerships needed to launch the facility, and organizers are working to identify funding sources for the center. David Baldwin, director of the Lab's Environmental and Protection Sciences Program, says the forensics center would serve three main purposes. First, it would be an arena for the development of new analytical techniques and tools for forensic investigators as well as providing an outlet for technologies developed at Ames Lab and other DOE laboratories.

However, forensic scientists are also involved in the investigation of a wide range of other incidents such as fires, explosions and industrial accidents where no criminal activity is suspected. Additionally, they may also be involved in scientific aspects of civil and commercial legal cases. The popular image of the scientist/ sleuth has elements of reality, but more often the forensic scientist is to be found analysing scene of crime samples rather than taking the leading role favoured by television dramatists. Like most applied scientists the forensic specialist needs to draw on a wide range of scientific knowledge and techniques. Traditional distinctions between physics and biology, biochemistry and microbiology cannot apply. All scientists need communication skills but for the forensic scientist they are critical - explaining the niceties of DNA based identification to a lay jury is no simple undertaking. A further requirement is a sound understanding of the law and the workings of the legal system.

Sunday, 12 January 2003 The widest coverage in Sri Lanka. News News Business Features Editorial ... Archives "No scientific crime investigation laboratory" - retired Government Analyst Meanwhile, Dr. A. R. L. Wijesekera, retired Government Analyst states: "We all know that DNA was used as a scientific tool since the mid 1980's and has now reached most laboratories in the West and East as a standard scientific procedure for identifying ("fingerprinting") individuals in criminal case work. It is, doubtless, the greatest discovery of the century as far as scientific crime investigation goes. In the circumstances, it is a tragedy that our own scientific crime investigation laboratory has still not been able to have this facility as part of its own scientific investigation tools for identification of criminals. Having said that, I must reassure all readers of the article entitled "Forensic Blunders" and the general public that before the advent of DNA, scientific investigation involving "matching" of physiological samples (blood, semen, etc) was carried out, in forensic laboratories, not (I repeat not) with a lesser degree of accuracy, but with certainly a lesser degree of "exclusivity." Use was made of the various types of blood group systems available, cellular and enzyme systems - to achieve a certain degree of "exclusion," although nowhere near what is achieved by DNA "fingerprint" identification which can in certain cases have an exclusion ratio of 1 in many millions.

Introduction Times What Are The Possibilities Archaeologist "spend a great deal of time examining terrain for recognisable clues before picking up trowel, soil brushes and spoons to uncover what might be under the surface" whereas the police may only have this opportunity infrequently. Archaeology is an investigation of the past, and requires planning and thought before heavy handedly jumping in with both feet. It is a responsibility of archaeologists to record accurately their findings and to use the methods available to them to do this. Before a site is even considered for digging, preparation is undertaken in separate phases. Identifying the site Survey Aerial Geophysics Magnetometry Field Walking INTERPRETATION These primary phases allow an archaeologist to identify an area of interest before moving to the expensive stage of starting excavation. These are non-destructive examinations.

6 April 2003 Home Search Contact Help 24th - 26th November 1999 in Lyons Papers DNA Database DNA Database Using CODIS Software Barry Brown, Ph.D. Laboratory Division Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, DC The Federal Bureau of Investigation introduced a new tool for fighting violent crime: the National DNA Index System (NDIS), in October 1999. NDIS is a collaborative effort among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. NDIS enables public forensic laboratories throughout the United States to exchange and compare DNA profiles electronically, thereby linking unsolved serial violent crimes to each other and to known sex offenders. As of June 1998, all fifty states have passed legislation requiring convicted offenders to provide samples for DNA databasing. These states have collected over 700,000 DNA samples and analyzed more than 300,000. All fifty states have been invited to participate in NDIS and it is expected that all states will contribute both their convicted offender and forensic DNA profiles to NDIS. As of September 1999, 18 states and one Federal laboratory have completed all procedures to participate in NDIS and these are: California, Connecticut, the FBI, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. An additional 17 states and one additional Federal laboratory (the U.S. Army Crime Laboratory) have initiated paperwork to participate in NDIS.

The Genetic Gumshoe A s the stuff of modern crime fiction and celluloid crime fighters emerges as fact on our news pages, one Charles Sturt University researcher has taken her place at the cutting edge of the fast-growing field of DNA testing. Having an identical twin might well be the only protection a criminal can ward against the tightening noose of forensic science. The snare is being set by CSU student Jane Hooper, who is refining one of the world’s most powerful forensic tests - a genetic test that positively distinguishes each individual from every other human on this planet. Ms Hooper, an Honours student with CSU’s School of Biomedical Sciences, is working with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) Forensic Laboratory in Canberra to refine and partially validate the latest DNA-based testing procedure. Supervised by AFP Forensic Laboratory Manager, Dr Julie Sutton, and CSU School of Biomedical Sciences lecturer, Dr Paul Roffey, the procedure is heralded as a powerful new weapon against crime. “Forensic laboratories around Australia agree this test will become the foundation for the national Criminal DNA Database planned for Australia and New Zealand in the next few years,” Dr Roffey said.
