The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Laboratory of Forensic Services (LFS) is accredited by the American National Standards Institute, National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and is one of the few California laboratories under the auspices of a District Attorney’s Office. We are staffed by forensic science professionals who are committed to performing forensic examinations in an accurate, clear, and objective way that is in accordance with the laboratory’s policies and procedures. We are fortunate to have the support of the District Attorney, as he is forward thinking and encourages the LFS to evaluate new and innovative techniques.

We are committed to quality and strive to continuously improve our processes and services and to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Our mission is to provide accurate, unbiased scientific information to aid criminal investigations by using state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation.
