A "crime laboratory" is defined as a laboratory, which employs one or more full time scientists, whose principle function is the examination of physical evidence for law enforcement agencies in criminal matters and who provide subsequent testimony. Membership is also open to full time educators directing forensic science degree programs that are approved by the Ohio Board of Regents.
