BJS has released the 2020 dataset from the Census of Publicly Funded Forensic Crime Laboratories (CPFFCL) series through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. The CPFFCL includes all state, county, municipal, and federal crime labs that are solely funded by the government or whose parent organization is a government agency and employs at least one full-time natural scientist. BJS supports data collection on the organization, functions, budget, staffing, workload, and performance expectations of the nation's publicly funded federal, state, and local forensic crime laboratories.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Kevin M. Scott, PhD, is the acting director.
