The field of forensics is evolving to meet new challenges and demands. Key drivers for change include systemic issues and the need for shared priorities in the forensic services marketplace. The response involves a national approach to deliver improved criminal justice outcomes, reduced harm, and increased effectiveness. Initiatives such as the FCN and TF programs aim to develop tools, capabilities, and solutions for a more efficient and standardized forensic landscape. Key projects include digital forensic science strategy, transformed fingerprint capabilities, and marketplace coordination. These efforts seek to enhance public confidence and deliver swifter justice outcomes through innovation and collaboration.
