 DON’T MISS FORENSIC SCIENCE DAY! March 10, 2009.  California Forensic Science Institute (CFSI) and the Crime Lab Project (CLP) in cooperation with the lab and the campus will provide expert speakers and programming for the day, as well as facilities, handouts, and A/V equipment.  This will be a 6-8 hour event and will include a tour of the Hertzberg-Davis Forensic Science Center on the CSU Los Angeles campus.  This lab serves the LAPD and the LA Sheriff's Department.  Four of the center's five floors house the largest regional “full-service” crime laboratory in the United States, providing state-of-the-art analysis of DNA, vehicles, fingerprints, blood, firearms and other types of evidence.
