Division of Forensic Sciences
Established in 1952 as the second statewide Crime Laboratory
in the United States, the Division of Forensic Sciences furnishes
scientific support to the Criminal Justice System of Georgia.
Laboratory scientists and technicians in specialized disciplines
collect, analyze, and interpret all aspects of physical evidence
for officers, investigators, and District Attorneys throughout
the state. The analyses employ the most recent scientific
technologies and are performed on highly sophisticated instrumentation.
Scientists are often required to present their findings in
the form of expert courtroom testimony.
Statewide availability of laboratory services are made possible through the headquarters laboratory in Decatur and regional laboratories in Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Moultrie, Savannah, Summerville and Cleveland. Click

The headquarters laboratory is divided into eleven sections,
each of which specializes in a particular expertise or support
function.
