Submitted evidence is examined and the FBI Laboratory also furnishes the experts necessary to testify in connection with the results of these examinations. These examinations are made with the understanding that the evidence is connected with an official investigation of a criminal or terrorism matter and that the laboratory report will be used only for official purposes related to the investigation or a subsequent prosecution. The FBI Laboratory will not accept cases from other crime laboratories which have the capability of conducting the requested examinations. Additionally, specialized forensic training in many forensic disciplines is conducted. This training is provided to eligible applicants commensurate with available resources. Finally, through available resources, the FBI Laboratory provides new enhanced equipment and tools to State and forensic and law enforcement personnel.
