The Handbook of Forensic Services provides guidance and procedures
for safe and efficient methods of collecting, preserving,
packaging, and shipping evidence and describes the forensic
examinations performed by the FBI's Laboratory Division and
Operational Technology Division. 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, and the FBI Laboratory is
accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratory
Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board. The forensic services of
the FBI Laboratory Division and the Operational 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. All forensic
services, including expert witness testimonies, are rendered free
of cost; however, the following limitations apply: No examination
will be conducted on evidence that has been previously subjected to
the same type of examination. Exceptions may be granted when there
are reasons for a reexamination. These reasons should be explained
in separate letters from the director of the laboratory that
conducted the original examination, the prosecuting attorney, and
the investigating agency. No request for an examination will be
accepted from laboratories having the capability of conducting the
examination. Exceptions may be granted upon approval of the FBI
Laboratory Director or a designee. No testimony will be furnished
if testimony on the same subject and in the same case is provided
for the prosecution by another expert. No request for an
examination will be accepted from a nonfederal law enforcement
agency in civil matters. In addition, when submitting evidence to
the FBI Laboratory, contributors acknowledge the following: FBI
examiners will choose appropriate technical processes to address
the contributor's request for examination. Depending on the
caseload of the Laboratory and the needs of the contributor,
evidence examinations may be subcontracted. An FBI Laboratory
Report of Examination may contain the opinions and/or
interpretations of the examiner(s) who issued the report.
