National Commission on Forensic Science

The National Commission on Forensic Science was a federal advisory group in the United States that provided guidance on the use of forensic science in criminal justice. Its goal was to improve methods, ensure scientific integrity, and promote consistent standards across forensic laboratories and disciplines, such as fingerprinting and DNA analysis. The commission collaborated with government agencies, legal professionals, and scientists to enhance the reliability and credibility of forensic evidence used in court. Although it was disbanded in 2017, its work contributed to ongoing efforts to strengthen forensic science practices nationwide.
