Why JAC versus a full-time department person?
The average Forensic Specialist will cost $42,000 to start and top out at approximately $53,000. His/her CAL-ID work will consume 60% of their workload. Over 14 years JAC’s cost (per department) has averaged between $2,000 to $9,000 a year depending on the volume of prints submitted. Also you must understand that proficiency comes with continual use of the system. Only large departments will have the work load demanding use of the system on a daily basis. JAC’s total clientele represent a very large department.
