Activity 2

National missing and unidentified persons system (namus)the national missing and unidentified persons system (namus.gov) program continued to provide unique support to agencies and families for the investigation of missing and unidentified persons cases. During 2011, the number of missing persons cases published in the system increased by nearly 3,600 and the number of unidentified persons cases increased by 1,100. A total of 131 cases were resolved in 2011 with the aid of namus; of those, 40 missing people were found alive. Nfstc completed activities in the namus program in 2011. The namus team was honored with a prestigious service to america medal at a gala in washington, d.c., for their innovation and creativity in working to solve a major national law enforcement challenge. To increase awareness of this powerful system and to provide training, the namus team attended 24 outreach events including conferences of the american academy of forensic sciences (aafs), national association of medical examiners, international association of chiefs of police (iacp), international association of coroners and medical examiners, and the crimes against children conference. We have been honored to support the dedicated law enforcement professionals, medical examiners, family members, victim advocates and volunteers in their quest to resolve these challenging cases.

Nfstc leveraged advanced online technology to provide numerous web-based programs, including live streaming of the 2011 trace evidence symposium, drawing attendees internationally; using video game techniques to create affordable, interactive crime scene investigation training; and producing web-based tools like forensic dna for law enforcement decision makers for access to critical information for all practitioners.law enforcement/laboratory -latent print examiner training -footwear and tire track examiner training -ten print examiner training -medicolegal death investigator training -cell phone investigation, collection and law (internet crimes against children task force)-csi effect theory -forensic dna for law enforcement decision makers-investigator virtual reality (i-vr) -after the fact (converted from cd to web-based platform)-national public safety summit on forensic science -trace evidence symposium military/dod/rotc nfstc is dedicated to providing our soldiers with the best forensic science support possible.
