Our second OSAC Registry Implementer testimonial is from Eva M.L. King, Quality Assurance Director of the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratories (WSCL). All three laboratories of the WSCL in Milwaukee, Madison, and Wausau, have received OSAC Registry Standards Implementer Certificates! Eva has been a staunch advocate of standards implementation and an outstanding mentor to other forensic scientists interested in this effort. She has submitted nine updates of the WSCL standards implementation status to the OSAC Program Office and plans to participate in the 2024 Open Enrollment event. Check out what Eva has to say about the virtues of implementing standards: https://lnkd.in/eGQb6cC2 Participate in Open Enrollment by September 2 and join the 170+ implementers who are helping to improve forensic science through standards: https://lnkd.in/daKeAGeC #ForensicOSAC #ForensicScience #Forensics #Standards

Strengthening the nation's use of forensic science through improved standards.
About us
Administered by NIST, OSAC is a collective body of more than 550+ forensic science practitioners and other experts representing all levels of the government, academia, and industry. Together, these members have expertise in a broad array of forensic science disciplines as well as scientific research, measurement science, statistics, law, and policy. OSAC is working to strengthen forensic practice through improved standards. To do this we: facilitate the development of technically sound, science-based standards through a formal standard developing organization (SDO) process; evaluate existing standards published by SDOs for placement on the OSAC Registry; promote the use of the OSAC Registry approved standards throughout the forensic science community; and establish and maintain working relationships with other similar organizations.

There are two weeks left to participate in the 2024 Open Enrollment event! This week, hear from OSAC Registry Implementers about the benefits they’ve experienced from implementing standards on the OSAC Registry. First up is Jeremy Triplett, Director of the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Central Forensic Laboratory. Jeremy was the first Chair of OSAC’s Forensic Science Standards Board, and in 2019, one of the first two forensic science service providers to receive an OSAC Registry Standards Implementer Certificate. Jeremy has been a staunch advocate of implementing standards and mentoring other forensic scientists on the merits of the implementation process. Hear what he has to say about the virtues of implementing standards: https://lnkd.in/gKYW3ZBg If you would like to share your implementation status with OSAC, participate in the 2024 Open Enrollment event: https://lnkd.in/daKeAGeC #ForensicOSAC #ForensicScience #Forensics #Standards

What a fantastic week of learning, sharing, and engaging with our fellow forensic science colleagues! It’s always great to connect with others in the field, share knowledge and learn from different perspectives. One way you can share your knowledge and perspectives is by participating in the standards development process. Join us and help strengthen forensic science through standards: https://lnkd.in/enxEjXYd #ForensicOSAC #ForensicScience #Forensics #Standards #IAI2024

There's an app (and videos) for that! This week at the IAI Conference our colleagues at RTI International shared info about the Trace Evidence Collection app and videos that are available to assist investigators with the recognition, collection, and preservation of trace evidence. The app and videos were developed to accompany the Trace Materials Crime Scene Investigation Guide developed by OSAC's Trace Materials Subcommittee. Learn more about the guide, app and videos: https://lnkd.in/gWt2GMxP #ForensicOSAC #ForensicScience #Forensics #Standards #IAI2024

The 2024 OSAC Registry Open Enrollment initiative is off to a great start! A big THANK YOU to all of the FSSPs that have submitted or updated their implementation information so far! The number of implementers currently stands at 175 FSSPs. Be a part of this cohort and submit your survey by September 2. Let's see if we can reach 200+ implementers by the end of the Open Enrollment period! https://lnkd.in/daKeAGeC #ForensicOSAC #ForensicScience #Forensics #Standards

OSAC's Registry Implementation Open Enrollment event is here! The 2024 Open Enrollment period is from July 8 - September 2. During this time we encourage all forensic science service providers to update or initiate their standards implementation activities. New this year, we've established an electronic submission survey to simplify and streamline the standard selection and reporting process! Participate now and join the 159 current "OSAC Registry Implementers" who are improving forensic science through the use of standards: https://lnkd.in/daKeAGeC #ForensicOSAC #ForensicScience #Forensics #Standards
