What is an SWG<\/abbr>?<\/h2>\n

Each Scientific Working Group includes scientists, both American and international, focused on a specific forensic science discipline. Although each SWG<\/abbr> has a unique focus, each groups’ main purpose is the same; improve the procedures within a specific discipline of forensic science. SWG<\/abbr>s attain this goal by collaborating to create best practices guidelines and scientific standards. SWG<\/abbr> membership is diverse; including scientists from Federal and regional government, private laboratories, academia, and consulting agencies, along with law enforcement and practitioners in the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n
