The Council is responsible for overseeing the state toxicology
laboratory, the Washington State Patrol crime laboratory, and
the state forensic pathology fellowship program. Together with

laboratory's operation and the fellowship program. The Council

and other first responders.
The goal of the Council is to promote an integrated, efficient
