The Laboratory is one of five sections in the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation which is a part of the Department of Justice of the State of California. The Director of the Department is the Attorney General of California. Approximately 280 persons are employed in the Fingerprint, Record, Special Services, Investigation, and Laboratory sections of this Bureau. First established in 1905 by the State Legislature as a central depository for fingerprints, the Bureau was discontinued in 1909, due to the fact that no money was appropriated for its operation. In 1917 the State Legislature re-established the Bureau (Statutes of 1917, which will be found in Deering's General Law of California as Act 1904). This act, with many amendments, now governs its operation. At the present time, it is not only one of the oldest State Bureaus of Identification and Investigation, it is one of the largest, if not the largest State Bureau in the entire country. As a service agency for more than 305 police departments, 58 sheriffs offices, 58 district attorneys, and for numerous other local and State government agencies, it receives and processes a tremendous amount of work every month of the year. At the present time, more than 40,000 fingerprint cards and thousands of crime reports, pawn shop reports, stolen property reports, gun permits, etc. are received and processed each month. Although some types of physical evidence were examined by technicians in the early years of the Bureau's operation and a very limited amount of scientific equipment was available, a regular Laboratory Section was not started until 1931. In that year, one civil service position of Chemist and Ballistics Expert was established, and some new equipment was obtained. Since then the Laboratory Section has expanded greatly in facilities, equipment, personnel, and case load. The laboratory conducts examinations and comparisons of all types of physical evidence involved in criminal cases in the State of California, with the exception of questioned documents and latent fingerprints. Handwriting, typewriting, and other related document examinations are handled by experts in the Questioned Document Unit of the Special
