The California Association of Criminalists fosters an exchange of ideas and information within the field of criminalistic.  The organization encourages the compilation of experience data of value in the field and promotes wide recognition of the practice of criminalistics as an important phase of jurisprudence. The organization also encourages the use of improved testing procedures and methods of presentation of conclusions and lends assistance, whenever possible, in the formulation of college curricula and law enforcement programs.  More details about the conference will be forthcoming on the event website.
