The confidential source, according to the letter, alleges examination errors and “potential concealment of those errors by of managers and senior leadership.”
The National Accreditation Board sent a letter to the D.C. crime lab on Friday immediately suspending the lab’s accreditation. The board said it found credible evidence the lab had deliberately concealed information from the assessment team and engaged in misrepresentations and fraudulent behavior, according to a filing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The mayor’s office said that the suspension of all examination of evidence at the lab is in place for 30 days and that it planned to appeal the board’s decision.
