NC State Crime Laboratory Procedures

Attorneys should review lab procedures to understand the forensic techniques used to analyze the evidence in their cases. It is important to review the procedure that was in effect at the time the evidence was processed. This page will be updated as additional procedures are received, but attorneys should request any procedure from the lab through discovery rather than relying on the documents posted here. The NC State Crime Laboratory makes its current and archived procedures available via its website.
