Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey State Police are joining a nationwide effort this week to honor the vital role of forensic professionals during National Forensic Science Week, running September 14–20, 2025.
According to the NJSP, the Office of Forensic Sciences (OFS) operates five laboratories across the state, each dedicated to providing high-quality forensic services that directly support criminal investigations and court proceedings. Officials say these labs work largely behind the scenes, yet their contributions are essential to public safety and the pursuit of justice.
During this week, forensic science laboratories and stakeholders across the country are recognizing the dedication of scientists and technical staff who provide critical evidence analysis for law enforcement. The goal is to raise public awareness about the importance of forensic work in ensuring integrity and fairness in the justice system.
The NJSP extended special thanks to the scientists and staff at the OFS, praising their expertise and commitment. “You are the quiet force behind the scenes, turning science into justice,” the agency stated.
National Forensic Science Week serves as both a celebration and reminder of the unseen but impactful work carried out in laboratories every day across New Jersey and the nation.
