This federal Project Grant award of $267,591 from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program (CFDA 16.742) will provide the Jefferson County Regional Crime Laboratory (JCRCL) in Golden, CO with a Full Spectrum Imaging System (FSIS II) and two MX908 portable mass spectrometers. These new instruments will enhance the laboratory's processing capabilities for drug chemistry, latent prints, firearms, and forensic biology analysis. The FSIS II will allow the JCRCL to reduce handling and contamination risks when processing drug packaging for latent prints and other evidence, while the MX908 mass spectrometers will enable field testing to quickly identify controlled substances and support the West Metro Drug Task Force's opioid response efforts. This 3-year grant, effective October 1, 2024, aims to improve the quality, timeliness, and capabilities of the JCRCL's forensic science services across multiple disciplines.
