Who Decides
The Houston Forensic Science Center board meets monthly to oversee the independent crime lab serving the Houston Police Department, Harris County, and other law enforcement agencies. Board meetings are open to the public and cover forensic testing operations, evidence analysis turnaround times, quality standards, accreditation status, and scientific protocols. The crime lab handles DNA, toxicology, firearms, and digital forensics that directly affect criminal justice outcomes.
