Forensic Services Consulting Proposal

 

 

Rita,

Thank you for the opportunity to consult on some of the challenges facing AZ Private Crime Scene.Our goal is to help get your company on track with technology and help come connected to new ways emerging in the forensic field. You are already aware of my background helping many state, city and countyagencies with similar issues.

Project Summary

 

To create a current technological environment that is lacking from AZ Private Crime Scene. AZ Private Crime Scene has been a leading agency for decades in the field of forensics. They have helped many government agencies with break through cases. In present times, it is hard for AZ Private Crime Scene to help with crime scenes and other lab jobs needed due to the lack of up to date technology. Also, majority of the staff have been there for years and lack the education to use such equipment. Expansion of the company will occur when AZ Private Crime Scene is up to date with technology, having the proper staff to do so, and there for helping bring more business due totheir resources available.

Background

AZ Private Crime Scenehas been in the business of performing forensic duties in the labs and in the field for over 20 years. To add, the labs at AZ Private Crime Scene have been in the business of conducting testing procedures that are designed to meet the strictest of requirements for application to criminal and civil justice processes. AZ Private Crime Scenes’ staff of forensic experts have over 80 years of combined expertise in explaining and defending their forensic testing findings. There is just one place to go then time is on the line and puzzles need to be solved, forensic testing is solid and defensible, turn to AZ Private Crime Scene.

AZ Private Crime Scene provides comprehensive, expert testing and analysis for the broadest range of biological and non-biological samples to support medical examiners, coroners, government and law enforcement agencies, and others in corporate and legal industries, with a breadth of testing that is unsurpassed:

• Postmortem toxicology
• Novel psychoactive substances (NPS)
• Forensic biology (including DNA testing and body fluid identification)
• Forensic chemistry (including illicit and pharmaceutical drug identification)
• DUI/DUID Toxicology

 

Building a traditional forensics lab, method development and validation, and training take significant time and resources. AZ Private Crime Scene provides a plethora of services. The existence of many laboratories helps achieve fast and reliable results. The fast results help support the investigation process and increase public safety. The comprehensive services that AZ Private Crime Scene provide includes:

• Drug Identification
• Blood Alcohol Testing
• DUID (blood drug testing)
• DNA Casework (FBI QAS compliant, including DNA testing and body fluid identification)

The decisions make are the organization leaders, the director and stakeholders (a group of investors). Funding comes from federal dollars and the private investors.

Business Challenge
