The Oregon State Police (OSP) Forensic Services Division (FSD) consists of five laboratories strategically located throughout the state in Bend, Central Point, Clackamas (Portland Metro), Pendleton and Springfield. The labs provide forensic services to include scientific examination of physical evidence, collection and preservation of evidence, crime scene response, and expert testimony. In addition, the FSD manages and administers Oregon’s CODIS database and breath-testing instruments / officer certification. 

 

All five OSP laboratories are accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ANAB AR 3125 standards. Additionally, the DNA Unit is accredited to the FBI Quality Assurance Standards (QAS) for forensic DNA testing and databasing laboratories.

 

The services of the FSD are available to all local, state, Tribal and federal law enforcement agencies in Oregon to assist with criminal investigations and judicial proceedings. Analyses for other parties is provided upon court order.
