The American Academy of Forensic Sciences is a multi-disciplinary professional organization that provides leadership to advance science and its application to the legal system. The objectives of the Academy are to promote education, foster research, improve practice, and encourage collaboration in the forensic sciences.

In addition, we undertake assessments on partners and their ability to supervise contact and/or protect their children. Our expertise is based upon ongoing research and over twenty years' experience in dealing with perpetrators and their families and assisting safeguarding professionals. The staff at Mentor regularly provides training and delivers presentations at conferences at national and international events. In October Valerie gave a key note speech at the 'Let's Talk Safeguarding Conference in Cumbria. Here is a flavour of the positive feedback: Excellent - Very informative, would have loved to have listened to Valerie for longer. Very interesting and informative lady with a wealth of knowledge.

The NCFS is involved with the Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence, an FBI-initiated group designed to create standards in the field. The Chair of the group is Dara Sewell of the Computer Analysis Response Team at the FBI Laboratory. The Vice Chair is Mike Phelan of the Drug Enforcement Agency. The Executive Secretary is our own Carrie Whitcomb, Director of the NCFS. NCFS actively pursues relationships with law enforcement in the Central Florida region. One such method was by initiating the Central Florida Computer Forensics group, which in partnership with the United States Department of Justice Attorney's Office (Middle District of Florida) and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, meet the third Thursday of every month to discuss locals issues of common interest related to computer crimes, training and cooperative efforts. Digital Evidence provides a challenge for the National Center for Forensic Science and the country as a whole. We are doing our best with our own research and the partnerships we make to rise to the occasion, to serve and enable state and local law enforcement to do their job to ensure justice.
