(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: State and local law
enforcement officials.
Abstract: The National Institute of

the size and nature of forensic evidence

enforcement agencies. For the purposes
of this survey, these forensic backlogs

the nation’s crime laboratory system. In
order to develop a complete picture of
forensic backlogs across the criminal
justice system, the Survey of Law
Enforcement’s Forensic Backlogs will
provide much needed information on
forensic evidence backlogs in state and
local law enforcement agencies.
