Crime Lab Project
A benefit for the Crime Lab Project Foundation will be held at Sisters in Crime's Forensic University. To learn more about this event, click here! American Crime Labs Need Your Help Television shows about forensic science are some of the most exciting, entertaining dramas on the tube, and have done a lot to make the public aware of forensic science and its potential. That's terrific. But let's talk about reality, and not television: the truth is, most American crime labs are under-funded, are in aging facilities, do not have the latest computers and other equipment, and are not fully staffed. More than one out of four labs do not have basic computers for processing evidence. 
What is the Crime Lab Project? A non-profit organization started by writers and producers, but now including many members of the general public, the Crime Lab Project works to increase awareness of the problems facing public forensic science agencies. We seek greater support and resources for crime labs, coroner and medical examiners' offices, and other public agencies using forensic science. We also seek support for forensic science education and research. Anyone may join the Crime Lab Project. We are currently going through the process of incorporating and will have more news about that soon.
