Census of Publicly Funded Forensic Crime Laboratories

Welcome to the 2024 Census of Publicly Funded Forensic Crime Laboratories (CPFFCL)!

The purpose of the CPFFCL is to produce national statistics on workload, staffing, resource needs, and the types of forensic services provided by federal, state, and local crime labs across the nation. The 2024 CPFFCL was developed with laboratory directors and other subject matter experts who helped refine the survey to reduce burden while producing meaningful, relevant, and timely statistics to serve the forensic laboratory community. The 2024 CPFFCL will address emerging issues and reveal how these statistics have changed since the survey was last conducted four years ago. Your response to the 2024 CPFFCL is critical to BJS’s effort to produce national estimates of personnel, resources, policies, and practices of the labs that conduct this important work. Please participate in this important study

The CPFFCL is endorsed by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD). You can access the letter detailing the ASCLD here: ASCLD Support Letter.
