HIGHLY-SOPHISTICATED ANALYSES WILL NOW BE PROCESSED IN-COUNTRY.
Saint Lucia’s forensic science laboratory has officially been granted accreditation from the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).
 
The forensic science lab is currently the first and only accredited forensic laboratory in the OECS, and the second accredited forensic lab in the entire CARICOM region.
 
Accreditation for Saint Lucia’s forensic lab will save taxpayers and the government tens of thousands of dollars by performing highly sophisticated testing and analysis processes in-country as opposed to exporting samples to labs overseas.
