The lab is home to the world’s most complete forensic collection of writing inks and plays a critical role in both our law enforcement and protective operations. From analyzing counterfeit currency and skimming devices to collecting DNA and fingerprints from threat letters and suspicious items, our forensic scientists use cutting-edge technology to support investigations around the world.
