The NIJ Forensic Laboratory Needs Technology Working Group – Progress To Date And Future Plans

In 2018, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) formed the Forensic Laboratory Needs Technology Working Group (FLN-TWG), which provided a space for crime laboratory directors or managers and academic researchers to meet regularly to share ideas, assess the impact of new technologies on their field, and identify next steps for implementation. From FLN-TWG’s first meeting, FLN-TWG members created this in-brief which documents their goals and a list of resources to promote technology adoption by crime laboratories.
