Investigative, DNA and Forensics Directories

Forensic Services Division -- Forensic examiners in the Secret Service Forensic Services Division (FSD) provide analysis for questioned documents, fingerprints, false identification, credit cards, and other related forensic science areas. Examiners use instrumental and chemical analysis when reviewing evidence. FSD also manages the Secret Services polygraph program nationwide. The division coordinates photographic, graphic, video, audio, image enhancement service, and the Voice Identification Program. FSD is responsible for the Forensic Hypnosis Program. Much of the forensic assistance the Secret Service offers is unique technology. As part of the 1994 Crime Bill, Congress mandated the Secret Service to provide forensic/technical assistance for missing and sexually exploited children. FSD offers assistance to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, the Morgan P. Hardiman Task Force and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
