The Global Forensic and Justice Center (GFJC) has been awarded $7 million from federal agencies to conduct forensic science research and provide training to forensic analysts and law enforcement. The U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) has awarded $4.49 million to the GFJC to prepare laboratories in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Panama, and Morocco for accreditation. Accredited laboratories adhere to strict standards in evidence maintenance and analysis, both of which support a rule of law courtroom – where the law, not a single person in power, rules. Because of international travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, GFJC is employing technology to deliver the training virtually.
