Abstract
The SC Department of Public Safety, Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs, has been designated as the State Administrative Agency for the Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program for South Carolina. The purpose of this grant program is to improve the quality and timeliness of forensic science and medical examiner/coroner’s office services. Among other things, funds may be used to eliminate backlogs in the analysis of forensic evidence (including controlled substances, firearms examination, forensic pathology, latent prints, questioned documents, toxicology, and trace evidence), and to train and employ forensic laboratory personnel, as needed, to eliminate such a backlog.
