Forensic science and scientific expertise serve the administration of justice by providing scientific support in the investigation of crime and providing evidence to the courts.

It is very important during investigation of many crimes, particularly fires where arson is suspected, cases involving DNA profiling and offences involving the use of firearms. The scientists have a wide range of experience in fire-scene examination, incl. fatal fires in domestic premises, large industrial fires and vehicle fires. DNA profiling is a revolutionary scientific testing process, which can positively identify an individual from a specimen of blood, hair roots, tissue, etc. Its application to crime specimens represents the greatest advance in forensic science in decades.

Fingerprints may be classified and filed on the basis of the ridge patterns, setting up an identification system that is almost infallible.
