Indian
Country Evidence Task Force (ICETF)
In June
2000, the FBI Laboratory created the Indian Country Evidence
Task Force (ICETF). The ICETF was established to ensure timely
analysis of evidence in Indian Country investigations. The
ICETF is composed of FBI Laboratory experts in the fields
of DNA, Trace Evidence, Latent Prints, and Firearms, who
are dedicated solely to Indian Country cases. Additional
Indian Country forensic examinations are conducted by local
and state forensic laboratories located near Indian reservations.
The Indian
Country Unit provides evidence recovery and processing equipment,
cameras, tripods, evidence refrigerators/freezers, global
positioning systems, blood drying cabinets, and a variety
of crime scene processing items to Special Agents, and their
counterparts in Indian Country, to support crime scene evidence
collection and examination activities.
