We have experienced the unveiling of the NIST OSAC, followed by new draft bills from Senators Leahy and Rockefeller to review and comment on. Last Friday Legislation from Senator Leahy was officially introduced, co-sponsored by Senator Cornyn. I would like you to be aware of the following information related to these activities: The Leahy/Cornyn Bill and a summary are posted on the IAI website. The IAI is working on an official response to this bill that will be posted very soon. The IAI participated in response to the Rockefeller draft bill through members in key states, and it is our understanding Senator Rockefeller's office is working on a redraft in response. The application process for the NIST OSAC's is not yet officially open, however the content of the application is posted on the NIST website in preparation. The IAI is in discussions with NIST about the IAI involvement in the process of selection and/or appointment. Links to all information above is posted on the IAI homepage: theiai.org If you have any comments on these issues, do not hesitate to contact me. I appreciate the support and participation of all members to date, and encourage more of the same from everyone.

Box 1043 Concord NH 03302-1043 Massachusetts New Hampshire Rhode Island Vermont Maine Greetings NEDIAI Members! It is a great pleasure for me to begin my term as 2014 NEDIAI President. You can be proud of the many accomplishments the NEDIAI has achieved throughout the years through quality training and education. This year I have the pleasure of hosting the 21st Annual NEDIAI Educational Conference in Portland, Maine. The conference will be held November 17th through 19th, 2014 at the Holiday Inn by the Bay. We are beginning to formulate a training agenda for the conference and have already scheduled the Day in May training for Tire Track Evidence to be held in Franklin, MA on May 7, 2014. If you have any training ideas or suggestions, please contact me at [email protected]. I want to congratulate 2013 NEDIAI President Rhode Island State Police Detective Sergeant John Grassel on a successful conference in Providence. Without your efforts and dedication, the 2014 NEDIAI Conference would not be possible. I would also like to thank the NEDIAI Executive Board for their continued support in conference planning and their dedication to the NEDIAI. Plan to attend the NEDIAI Educational Conference now and I look forward to seeing you there! Detective Scott A. Bryant Maine State Police President NEDIAI Excellence through Knowledge Volume 1 of 3, 2014 page 5 Letter from the Editor Hello members, We are starting off with a very busy 2014. As I’m sure you’re aware, our disciplines are undergoing several changes. Congress is actively working on a Forensic Science Reform Act and we are also expecting the addition of NIST’s Organization of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC) to be unveiled soon. There is still a chance to become involved in one of these SAC’s and I encourage you to do so if you have an interest. I have compiled a series of summaries and links for you to follow in order to assist in the understanding of all these changes. Member Cindy Homer has made a great summary of the OSAC structure which I think is a great resource and can be found on page 10. All websites have been hyperlinked for ease of use if you visit our web page (www.nediai.org) and view the Journal online. While I realize there is a lot of information and reading in this edition, I hope you are all able to take the time and understand it. I think our awareness and comprehension of these issues is beneficial to the whole community. Preparations are also underway for our local NEDIAI Annual Conference which will be held in Portland, Maine, November 17th through the 19th. If you are interested in presenting at this years conference, please contact program co-chairs Alicia Wilcox and Rachel Lemery. I hope you will all be able to attend. Keep checking the website or our Facebook page for updates. In the meantime there are several other great training opportunities coming up, so check out page 16 for details! Our Day in May training (FREE for NEDIAI members) is also coming up. Member Alicia Wilcox has organized a great presentation and workshop for this day on tire tracks. Information and a registration form for this Day in May can be found on pages 18 and 19. Lastly, I would like to solicit your help for our Journal. Please send me any feedback so that I can try to make this the best distribution of information for our members as possible. I encourage you to send me articles, ideas, and suggestions on topics that you’d like to see more information. Thank you, and happy Spring!

As a significant stakeholder in forensic legislation, the IAI will continue to provide input to proposals related to governing the forensic profession. Our priorities for law or systems that govern or support forensic science practices are that they should: 1) Provide for sufficient (majority) inclusion of active forensic practitioners in a manner that includes the breadth of forensic disciplines and that includes federal, state, local and private representation. 2) Address the use and availability of existing resources, including the body of existing forensic science research and resources created by the Scientific Working Groups as well as existing quality assurance programs such as accredited certification programs and laboratory accreditation programs based on international laboratory standards. 3) Involve, in addition to the aforementioned practitioner representation, the broad community of stakeholders related to forensic science issues such as attorneys (prosecution and defense), judges, law enforcement, academic institutions, research entities and relevant forensic professional associations. Lesley Hammer, IAI President Volume 1 of 3, 2014 IAI Summary on the Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Reform Act page 7 Volume 1 of 3, 2014 page 8 Leahy & Cornyn Introduce Sweeping Forensics Reform Legislation Bill Would Support Law Enforcement & Improve Reliability of Forensic Evidence Contact: Jessica Brady (w/Leahy) – 202-224-7703 Megan Mitchell (w/Cornyn) – 202-224-0704 WASHINGTON (Friday, March 28, 2014) –Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), a former prosecutor with a long history of supporting both law enforcement and crime victims, and Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) this week introduced sweeping legislation to improve the use of forensic evidence in criminal cases. The Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Reform Act (S. 2177) promotes national accreditation and certification standards and stronger oversight for forensic labs and practitioners, as well as the development of best practices and a national forensic science research strategy. The bill will help law enforcement, courts, and lawyers in their efforts to effectively identify and convict people guilty of crimes and avoid the too-common tragedy of convicting the innocent. Since the first post-conviction DNA exoneration in the United States in 1989, there have been 314 DNA exonerations. The measure, which was introduced on Thursday, aims to avoid wrongful convictions through the use of accurate forensic evidence. “From DNA to digital evidence, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges are becoming increasingly reliant on the collection and analysis of various forms of forensic evidence in a criminal investigation or prosecution,” Leahy said in a statement. “The legislation I am introducing with Senator Cornyn represents a comprehensive and commonsense approach toward guaranteeing the effectiveness and integrity of forensic evidence used in criminal cases, and in ensuring that Americans can have faith in their criminal justice system.” “This bill will allow us to dramatically improve the efficiency of our crime labs and reduce the number of wrongful convictions. Forensic evidence is an important tool for bringing perpetrators to justice and it’s critical that our labs operate in the most effective way possible,” Cornyn said. “The Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Reform Act gives us additional tools to reduce our nation’s unacceptable rape-kit backlog, put violent criminals behind bars, and provide oversight to crime labs that receive federal funding.” The bipartisan measure introduced on Thursday is the result of years of work in the Senate Judiciary Committee, beginning with its first hearing in 2009 and another hearing in 2011, and involving numerous meetings with a wide range of stakeholders. Leahy introduced similar forensics legislation in 2011, and he reiterated this week that Congress must pass a comprehensive bill to ensure meaningful and long-lasting reform. “Improving the reliability of forensic evidence does not advance the interests of just prosecutors or defendants, or of Democrats or Republicans. It is in the interest of justice and public safety,” Leahy said. “Senator Cornyn and I will continue to work diligently with senators on both sides of the aisle, and I hope many other senators will join us to cosponsor this legislation, and work with me to ensure its passage.” Key provisions in the Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Reform Act would: · Create an Office of Forensic Science (OFS) within the Office of the Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice, and require coordination between the new office and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). · Establish a Forensic Science Board (FSB), with members appointed by the President. · Require that all forensic science laboratories that receive federal funding be accredited according to rigorous standards set by the FSB and OFS. · Require that all relevant personnel who perform forensic work for any laboratory or agency that receives federal money to become certified in their fields. · Create Committees of scientists to examine forensic science disciplines to develop standards, best practices, and research priorities. · Promote basic and applied scientific research in the forensic sciences, and encourage public-private collaborations. · Provide support and training for State and local laboratories and law enforcement. Volume 1 of 3, 2014 page 10 NIST Scientific Area Committees Summary Cindy Homer Forensic Scientist Maine State Police Crime Laboratory [email protected] This is my feeble attempt to make sense out of what has been going on with regards to the new Organization of Scientific Area Committees; how they are structured and how they relate to us. If anything, reading this will at least tell you what all the crazy acronyms are that are being thrown around. Background: In 2009 the National Research Council of the National Academy of Science published a report “Strengthening Forensic Science in The United States: A Path Forward” that examined and reported on the current state of forensic science in the United States. The report identified many areas of concern and weaknesses within the various forensic science disciplines. In 2010 the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) (under the Federal Office of Science and Technology Policy) responded to the report by developing a Forensic Science Subcommittee within the NSTC. The subcommittee’s goal was to advise the NSTC (thus the White House) on how to improve all branches of forensic science within the United States. In 2012 two separate Bills were introduced to Congress by Senators Leahy and Rockefeller, both aimed at establishing federal agencies that would oversee and develop standards within the forensic sciences. Where we are now: In January 2014 the Department of Justice and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched the National Commission of Forensic Science (NCFS). The Commission is made up of 37 research scientists, lawyers, forensic practitioners and law enforcement officials who will act in an advisory role to the U.S. Attorney General. They are up and running and have already had their first meeting. As a Federal Advisory Committee the Commission will focus on policy issues regarding forensic science. For instance, they will deal with Congress and focus on funding and legislation for Federal forensic laboratories. Even though they will be focused on Federal agencies the overall belief is that whatever policies they develop will trickle down and affect state and local forensic labs. In February 2014 the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced its proposal for an Organization of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC). The OSAC would run parallel to the Commission but not report to the Commission. The Organization would be made up of four committees: a Legal Resources Committee (LRC), a Quality Infrastructure Committee (QIC), a Human Factors Committee (HFC) and discipline specific Scientific Area Committees initially called “Guidance Groups.” The SACs are meant to replace the current Scientific Working Groups (SWG, e.g. SWGTREAD, SWGFAST, SWGIT). NIST has claimed that the current SWG standards will not be disregarded. There will be five SACs (formally SWGs): “Biology/DNA,” “Chemistry/Instrumentation,” “Crime Scene/Death Investigation,” “IT/Multimedia” and “Physics/Pattern.” The last three Committees seem to be where most of us will fall. These will be the Committees setting the standards in your disciplines. Whereas the Commission (NCFS) will focus on Federal forensic science policy and report to the Justice Department, the OSAC would focus on the practices inside of the various forensic disciplines (e.g. best practices, guidelines and standards) and report to a Forensic Science Standards Board (FSSB). The Board would be responsible for reviewing the standards created by the various SACs. If approved by the FSSB the standards would be included in what would become the “FSSB registry” of standards. Continued on following page Volume 1 of 3, 2014 page 11 Continued from previous page This is where we sit for those of you who want to keep track: The proposed structure of the OSAC is as follows: From the NIST presentation at the AAFS meeting February 2014 Things are moving very fast. NIST claims that these Committees and Subcommittees are going to be filled over the course of the next few months. They will be accepting applications through direct application and nomination by forensic organizations (AAFS, IAI, AFTE, etc.) so keep an eye on the NIST website (http://www.nist.gov/forensics) if you’re interested. FYI: Subcommittee membership will probably be a commitment of two weeks a year and the willingness to travel. They have said there is funding for meetings. You will also need a letter of support from your agency. I’m sure more complete instructions will be amongst the application paperwork.

The establishment of OSAC is a result of a NIST and Department of Justice memorandum of understanding signed last year with the aim of improving standards and practices in forensic science laboratories. NIST envisions uniform administration of development, promulgation and adoption of standards through the OSAC as well as supporting communication flow between the scientific area committees and the forensic science community. The intent is to bring structure, scientific rigor and increased communication among forensic scientists, research scientists, academicians, statisticians, attorneys, managers and quality assurance specialists. The presentation will take place at the Washington State Convention Center, Ballroom 6C, Seattle, Wash.
