International Terminal

The members of the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD) would like to welcome our international visitors. The International Terminal serves as a nexus point to unite our U.S. domestic members with our international members and international visitors.

The International Forensic Summit (TIFS)

The International Forensic Summit (TIFS) is a global partnership between multiple regional forensic science networks representing a broad range of forensic groups; e.g., science, medicine, patterned evidence, and crimes scene. The groups participating include not only directors of forensic institutes, but learned societies representing practitioners at all levels, educational groups, and key enabling bodies.

The American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors is proud to support this important initiative. We encourage all ASCLD members to visit the TIFS website to learn more.
