The Justice Club sponsored a tour of the State Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory on February 27 for members and other interested students. This state of the art facility opened in June 2012. Students had the opportunity to see first-hand the forensic investigation capabilities in Alaska.
The crime lab provides forensic support to all law enforcement agencies in Alaska and provides examinations and expertise in:
- breath alcohol
- blood alcohol
- controlled substances
- firearm/toolmark
- biological screening
- DNA
- latent fingerprints
- crime scene investigation
