National Forensic Science Week 2023
What is National Forensic Science Week?
History
National Forensic Science Week was conceived by a group of US forensic leaders during a meeting in 2013, with the aim of recognising, celebrating and helping to advance the highest quality forensic science.
Following this initial meeting, the MCC offered their support to the concept, immediately followed by the IACP, ASCIA, MCSA and CFSO organisations. Planning guides, web content, blogs and emails were distributed to the community and the first NFSW was underway.
What began as an idea at a meeting has since transformed into a truly national event in the USA, demonstrating the importance of forensic science to the modern criminal justice system, and of course the passion and dedication of those working in forensic professions.
Over the last decade NFSW has broadened its reach and is now also recognised by organisations beyond the US. foster+freeman are proud to support NFSW both the US and UK, sharing the core belief behind the concept:
“Quality forensic science and those that provide these services deserve our appreciation and respect”.

Vision and Goals
NFSW aims to celebrate the forensic experts who reveal truth in criminal proceedings: scientifically determining innocence and guilt without bias or prejudice, to work towards a fairer world, where science meets justice.
“In the shadows of justice, forensic scientists weave threads of truth. During Forensic Science Week, we shine light on their dedication, honoring the silent architects of clarity.”
