The Crime Laboratory maintains two accreditations: the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board and the Texas Forensics Science Commission. American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors / Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB) The ASCLD/LAB accreditation is a program in which a crime laboratory demonstrates that its management, operations, personnel qualifications, procedures, instruments, security, and personnel safety procedures, meets certain standards. The accreditation process is one form of a quality assurance program, that easily combines with continuing education and other programs to help the crime laboratory to provide the criminal justice system improved service. A 2016 assessment of the FWPD Crime Lab found the lab conforms with all general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) in the following areas: Crime Laboratory – DNA Testing
