The Sacramento Police Department honors its dedicated Forensic Investigation Division this week. Sacramento Forensic Investigators and Crime Scene Officers are an essential element in solving crimes and keeping our communities safe. August 9th through the 15th, 2015, marks the third annual National Forensic Science Week to recognize the important role of Forensic Science in the investigation of crimes across the United States. From violent crimes, such as homicides, to more common crimes, such as theft, Forensic Science greatly contributes to the identification and apprehension of criminals, and to the evidence of those who are proven innocent. Our Forensic Division works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week responding to almost 7,000 calls. It is comprised of 3 separate units, the Crime Scene Unit, the Latent Print Unit, and the Evidence Lab. Just last week, approximately 1700 delegates from around the world convened in Sacramento to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the International Association for Identification. Keynote speakers Sacramento Chief of Police Sam Somers Jr. and America's Most Wanted host John Walsh, discussed the importance of Forensic Science to the law enforcement community. The Sacramento Police Department received a plaque for providing support and resources for the conference. Our Crime Scene Investigation Unit (CSI) is comprised of 6 civilian Forensic Investigators, 7 sworn officers, 1 Supervising Investigator and 1 Sergeant. The Evidence Lab is responsible for the chemical processing of all evidence collected at crime scenes including all firearm evidence which is entered into IBIS (Integrated Ballistic Identification System). The Evidence Lab is staffed with 1 Supervising Forensic Investigator and 3 civilian Forensic Investigators.
