For 40 years, ASAFS has been the heartbeat of forensic science in Alabama—championing the mission of the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences (ADFS) and strengthening the broader forensic community. What started as a small network of dedicated professionals has evolved into a vibrant, statewide community driven by curiosity, innovation, and a shared commitment to justice.
Over the past four decades, ASAFS has helped spark new ideas, build powerful collaborations, and support research that pushes our field forward. We’ve worked to promote consistent, ethical, and high-quality practices across every discipline, ensuring that the science behind our work remains strong, credible, and trusted.
But ASAFS is more than an association—it’s a family of scientists, investigators, educators, and partners who believe in the vital role forensic science plays in protecting our communities.
As we celebrate 40 years of excellence, we invite you to join us in honoring our history, recognizing our progress, and shaping the future of forensic science together.
