  • The FBI Laboratory (also called the Laboratory Division) is a division within the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation that provides forensic analysis support services to the FBI, as well as to state and local law enforcement agencies free of charge. The lab is located at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Quantico, Virginia. Opened November 24, 1932, the lab was first known as the Technical Laboratory. It became a separate division when the Bureau of Investigation (BOI) was renamed as the FBI. The Lab staffs approximately 500 scientific experts and special agents. The lab generally enjoys the reputation as the premier crime lab in the United States. However, during the 1990s, its reputation and integrity came under withering criticism, primarily due to the revelations of Special Agent Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, the most prominent whistleblower in the history of the Bureau. Whitehurst was a harsh critic of conduct at the Lab. He believed that a lack of funding had affected operations and that Lab technicians had a pro-prosecution bias. He suggested they were FBI agents first and forensic scientists second, due to the institutional culture of the Bureau, which resulted in the tainting of evidence. (en)

O laboratório está localizado na Base do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais de Quantico, Virginia. Inaugurado em 24 de novembro de 1932, o laboratório foi inicialmente conhecido como Laboratório Técnico. Tornou-se uma divisão separada quando o Bureau of Investigation (BOI) foi renomeado como FBI. O Laboratório possui aproximadamente quinhentos especialistas científicos e . O laboratório geralmente goza da reputação de primeiro laboratório criminal dos Estados Unidos. No entanto, durante a década de 1990, sua reputação e integridade foram alvo de duras críticas, principalmente devido às revelações do agente especial , o denunciante mais proeminente da história do Bureau. Whitehurst era um crítico severo de conduta no laboratório. Ele acreditava que a falta de recursos havia afetado as operações e que os técnicos do Laboratório tinham um viés pró-promotoria. Ele sugeriu que eles eram agentes do FBI primeiro e cientistas forenses em segundo, devido à cultura institucional do Bureau, que resultou na contaminação de evidências. (pt)
