T E.3: Forensic Capabilities
Increase the forensic capabilities of all law enforcement and intelligence agencies both within and outside of the United
States.
Other Information:
FBI forensic resources are increasingly being called upon to support high profile criminal investigations in other countries
because of the FBI’s unique forensic expertise and capability. The FBI will need to help develop the forensic capabilities
of other countries and leverage existing capabilities within the United States. This will be accomplished through partnerships
with other forensic laboratories and scientists to provide the optimum level of forensic services to meet increasing demands
worldwide. Priority Actions: Continue to provide training and certification to the FBI’s state, local, and international forensic
partners. Upgrade proficiency testing through the use of externally prepared tests. Expand the CODIS Program both domestically
and internationally, via the Legats. Improve training and information for all CODIS users. Work with other federal crime laboratories
to develop a Continuity of Operations Plan.
