What shoes we wear and what vehicle we drive may not be as important to us as they are to an Impression Evidence Forensic Analyst, because to them, shoes and tires can both lead to identifying a suspect or victim in an investigation.   #YourFDLE Impression Evidence Forensic Analysts utilize chemical, physical, and photographic processes to identify full and partial impressions for forensic analysis. #ForensicSciences

Assessors for the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) visited #YourFDLE this week as part of the reaccreditation process. The assessors conducted inspections, employee interviews and extensive reviews of policies, procedures and records at Headquarters and the Tallahassee, Pensacola, Tampa Bay and Miami Regional Operations Centers (ROCs).     The commission establishes and maintains the standards for compliance of Florida law enforcement agencies and their members to the agencies’ written directives. This is FDLE’s ninth reaccreditation assessment since first being accredited in 1996.   For more information about the accreditation process, please visit the FDLE website and www.flaccreditation.org

A lot of evidence can be derived from something as small as a drop of blood. #YourFDLE Toxicology Forensic Analysts are trained to examine biological specimens for the presence or absence of drinking alcohol (blood) and/or impairing drugs (blood & urine). #ForensicSciences

DNA is found in nearly every cell of the body and is the most likely piece of evidence left at a crime scene through bodily fluids, skin cells, hair, or other biological means. #YourFDLE Biology Forensic Analysts are tasked with processing the biological evidence to help investigators get closer to identifying who was (and was not) at the scene of the crime. #NationalForensicSciencesWeek
