At this time, the Division of State Fire Marshal’s Bureau of Forensic Fire and Explosives Analysis will accept samples from any government/public service agency in Florida. This includes all police or fire investigation agencies for the state, county, or municipality. This, also, includes investigators from State’s Attorney Offices or from the Public Defender’s Offices. Other State of Florida or federal agencies investigating incidents occurring in Florida may submit evidence, but should contact the Bureau in advance. In the spirit of forensic cooperation, foreign law enforcement or fire investigation agencies have been permitted to submit evidence under specific instances and with prior approval.
