The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) conducts the Census of Publicly Funded Forensic Crime Laboratories (CPFFCL) to provide insight into federal, state, county, and municipal crime labs that are funded solely by the government or whose parent organization is a government agency. The most recent CPFFCL provides national-level data on the workload and operations of crime labs during 2020. Of the 326 eligible crime labs and multilab systems in the 2020 CPFFCL, 293 (90%) provided responses to at least some of the survey questions. This webinar presents findings from the 2020 CPFFCL and provide an update on next year’s new CPFFCL.
This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on April 2, 2024.
