18. Reclassification of Various Statutory Provisions to a New Title 34 of the United States
Code
On September 1, 2017, various statutory provisions previously codified elsewhere in
the U.S. Code were editorially reclassified (that is, moved and renumbered) to a new
Title 34, entitled "Crime Control and Law Enforcement."The reclassification
encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards (that is, OJP
grants and cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified
in Title 42 of the U.S. Code.
Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a
statutory provision that has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to
2-109g Federal Fund Grant Subaward Assurances - FSIA (Revised 12/2021) 9
be read as a reference to that statutory provision as reclassified to Title 34. This rule of
construction specifically includes references set out in award conditions, references
set out in material incorporated by reference through award conditions, and
references set out in other award requirements.
19. OJP Training Guiding Principles
Subrecipients (and any Second-Tier Subrecipients) agree that they will adhere to the
OJP Training Guiding Principle for Grantee and Subgrantees (available at
i
https://oip.gov/funding/Implement/TrainingPNnciplesForGrantees-Subgrantees.htm)
for all training or training materials developed or delivered with these funds.
20. Federal Authorization
Subrecipients (and any Second-Tier Subrecipients) must comply with all applicable
requirements for authorization of any Grant Subaward. This condition applies to
agreements that-- for purposes of federal grants administrative requirements —OJP
considers a "Grant Subaward" (and therefore does not consider a procurement
"contract").
The details of the requirement for authorization of any Grant Subaward are posted
on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/SubawardAuthorization.htm.
21. Requirements Related to System for Award Management and Universal Identifier
Requirements
Subrecipients (and any Second-Tier Subrecipients) must comply with applicable
requirements regarding the System for Award Management (SAM), currently
accessible at https://www.sam.gov/. This includes applicable requirements
regarding registration with SAM, as well as maintaining the currency of information in
SAM.
Subrecipients also must comply with applicable restrictions for Second-Tier
Subawards, including restrictions on Grant Subawards to entities that do not acquire
and provide (to Subrecipients) the unique entity identifier required for SAM
registration.
The details of the Subrecipients' obligations related to SAM and to unique entity
identifiers are posted on the OJP web site at
https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/SAM.htm.
This condition does not apply to a Grant Subaward to an individual who received
the Grant Subaward as a natural person (i.e., unrelated to any business or non-profit
organization that he or she may own or operate in his or her name).

22. Restrictions on "lobbying"
In general, as a matter of federal law, federal funds awarded by OJP may not be
used by Subrecipients (and any Second-Tier Subrecipients), either directly or
indirectly, to support or oppose the enactment, repeal, modification, or adoption of
any law, regulation, or policy, at any level of government. See 18 U.S.C. 1913. (There
may be exceptions if an applicable federal statute specifically authorizes certain
activities that otherwise would be barred by law.)
Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OJP from being
used by Subrecipients (and any Second-Tier Subrecipients), to pay any person to
influence (or attempt to influence) a federal agency, a Member of Congress, or
Congress (or an official or employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of
a federal grant or cooperative agreement, subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan,
or with respect to actions such as renewing, extending, or modifying any such
award. See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this law apply, including an
exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
23. Specific Post-award Approval Required to Use a Noncompetitive Approach In any
Procurement Contract that would Exceed $250,000
Subrecipients (and any Second-Tier Subrecipients) must comply with all applicable
requirements to obtain specific advance approval to use a noncompetitive
approach in any procurement contract that would exceed the Simplified
Acquisition Threshold (currently, $250,000). This condition applies to agreements that
—for purposes of federal grants administrative requirements -- OJP considers a
procurement "contract" (and therefore does not consider a subaward).
The details of the requirement for advance approval to use a noncompetitive
approach in a procurement contract under an OJP award are posted on the OJP
web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/NoncompefitiveProcurement.htm.
24. Requirements Pertaining to Prohibited Conduct Related to Trafficking in Persons

Budget Narrative
The Fresno County Sheriff's Office Forensic Laboratory (hereafter referred
to as crime laboratory) developed a budget that supports the goal of the
Coverdell 2022 Program to improve the quality, timeliness, and credibility of
forensic science services for criminal justice purposes.
The Coverdell 2022 Program requires maintenance of this laboratory's
accreditation status. ANAB is our accreditation provider and the ISO 17025
Guideline 5.2 Training and Development state that the training and
development of employees must be emphasized to improve accuracy,
increase productivity, and enable them to assume greater responsibility.
Included under Guideline 5.2 are standards important to the Coverdell 2022
Program. They are standards:
5.2.1 The agency management shall ensure the competence of all who
operate specific equipment, perform tests and/or calibrations, evaluate results,
and sign test reports and calibration certificates. When using staff that is
undergoing training, appropriate supervision shall be provided. A training

program to develop the technical skills of employees is essential in each
applicable discipline and sub discipline.
ANAB goes on further to state examiners must have mastery of the theory,
procedures, and techniques necessary to produce reliable results and
conclusions; and, under criteria for each functional area of expertise that
examiners must have education and experience/training commensurate with
the examinations and testimony they provide. A baccalaureate degree in a
natural science, Criminalistics, or closely related field is required.
The crime laboratory has met or exceeded the ANAB ISO 17025 criteria
delineated above by hiring qualified staff that meets the educational degree
requirement. The ISO 17025 criteria is also met through the operation of the
laboratory's professional development program, the training programs
described in each laboratory procedures manual, and the specific training
needs of the management and the individual technical units within the
laboratory.
Mindful of the ANAB accreditation criteria and in accordance with the
crime laboratory's Professional Development Program and Coverdell 2022
Program, the crime laboratory identified the appropriate training in technical

and personal skills for the laboratory's qualifying forensic scientists. The training
needs of this crime laboratory are extensive, they are necessary to stay abreast
of the advances in forensic science, and they span the broad spectrum of
forensic services offered by this crime laboratory.
Three (3) full-time qualifying forensic scientists are designated to receive
training under the Coverdell 2022 Program. The qualifying forensic scientists
include candidates from Forensic Laboratory Criminalist classifications. The series
classification is described as follows:
The classification of Criminalist has three levels that are assigned at the
crime laboratory director's discretion in accordance with budget provisions,
workload, organizational needs, and the individual's expertise and skill. The
criminalist must have graduated from a four-year college or university with a .I
major in chemistry, biochemistry, physics, pharmacology, biology, microbiology,
criminalistics (with an emphasis in chemistry) or a closely related scientific field. ,
Coursework must have included successful completion of 24 semester units of
chemistry including qualitative analysis.
The training program identified in this budget is intended to improve the
management of the crime laboratory's caseload as well as the crime

laboratory's turnaround time in the targeted areas of analysis by maintaining a
well-trained staff of professional forensic scientists, improving the quality of
forensic services, and expanding the knowledge base of forensic scientists within
functional areas with appropriate skill sets to complete the work as expediently
as can reasonably be expected.
This training will be identified by the Crime laboratory's director, using
various Quality Assurance Guidelines and training manuals. Training will consist
of paying for three Criminalists to go to the AFTE 2023 Conference for the
Firearms /Toolmark unit.
The firearms section of the laboratory has added one position to assist in
decreasing our turnaround time and backlog of firearms cases. We currently j

have two Comparison microscopes, but with three analysts we will need
another microscope or we will have a created a logjam in the system as
analysts will have to wait for a microscope to continue the examination of their
case. Purchase of a new microscope will support the goals of the 2022
Coverdell Program by making the firearms unit more efficient and improve the
quality of the work environment for the Firearms Analysts. Funding from the 2022

Problem Statement
Training and continuing education of the staff of the Fresno County
Sheriff's Office Forensic Laboratory (hereafter referred to as crime laboratory) is
currently difficult to meet due to training needs that exceed the existing funds
available for crime laboratory personnel. Secondly, the firearms section of the
laboratory has added a new Firearms Criminalist, she has graduated from the
NFEA and is currently in the final stage of completing her in house training. With
the addition of this new staff member the Forensic Laboratory will need to
purchase upgraded systems and equipment for the firearms unit. The addition
of systems and equipment will analysts more options when performing firearms `
examination. [
The goal of the Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Program
(hereafter referred to as Coverdell 2022 Program) is to improve the quality,
I
timeliness, and credibility of forensic services over current operations of the t
1
crime laboratory.

Training Problem
Providing continuing education and training to this laboratory's
experienced scientists ensures that the crime laboratory delivers the highest
I
quality, most efficient, and timely forensic services while improving the quality of
i
forensic services to Fresno County's criminal justice community.
The training and educational needs of the scientists working the forensic
cases goes to the core of the crime laboratory's efforts to provide quality,
credible and timely forensic services to Fresno County. The training needs of the
i
crime laboratory are extensive and span the areas of forensic services offered
and accredited (DNA & Firearms) by this crime laboratory. The most significant
impact of training forensic scientists is at the journeyman level. Journeyman level
forensic scientists must stay abreast of the advances in forensic science as new
technology; equipment, methods, and laboratory techniques are developed for
use in the forensic laboratory.
The California State Auditor's report of December 1998 Forensic
Laboratories: Many Face Challenges beyond Accreditation to Assure the
Highest Quality Services provided an assessment of California's forensic
laboratories and recommendations to address deficiencies noted during the

audit. The report concluded, among other issues, that many of the state's
forensic laboratories could improve efficiency by providing comprehensive
training programs for their staff of professional scientists.
While training programs exist in a variety of forms, the California State
Auditor's report specifically noted in their conclusions and recommendations
that forensic laboratories need to develop, implement, and document formal
training programs, broaden the scope of the training, build on existing resources
within the state, and provide adequate funding to accomplish the goal.
In Guidelines for Forensic Laboratory Management Practices, the ISO 1
17025 guideline outlines the responsibilities of forensic laboratory managers to
r
obtain the best performance from their professional employees. Foremost
I
among these management responsibilities are training employees in the
principles of forensic science, maintaining employee skills and competency, N
r
and fostering staff development.
In the report, California Attorney General Bill Lockyer's 2003 Task Force on
Forensic Services, data from every forensic laboratory in California provided a
snapshot of the need's relative to providing quality forensic services to police
and prosecution. The report states in part, "Forensic Science is clearly not a

static field. One of the implications of just about every trend in forensic science is
the need for ongoing training and education of professional staff. Many of
today's technologies were not in use when current practitioners of forensic
science were in school. Advanced degrees will soon be required for those who
wish to reach the top levels in their specialties. Beyond training for existing
examiners, the ever-growing forensic community needs a pool of properly
I
educated candidates.' "
The California Crime Laboratory Review Task Force (pursuant to AB 1079,
codified as PC § 11062) is charged with a thorough review of California's state,
f
county and local crime laboratories. The Task Force report issued in November j+
2009 also supports a strong education and training program for qualifying staff. i
Providing training opportunities for the crime laboratory's forensic scientists
is a problem that will be addressed and funded by the Coverdell 2022 Program.
Equipment Problem
The firearms section of the laboratory does not have a high-speed video/still
camera system. With the addition of our new Firearms Criminalist we now can

casework and a variety of different analysis. With the 2022 Coverdell funding
the Laboratory intends to purchase a high-speed video/still camera system and
lap top computer. The total cost for all the equipment components to the
Coverdell 2022 Program is $42,876.
Crime Laboratory Profile
The crime laboratory is accredited by the ANAB. The crime laboratory
holds accreditation certificate number FT-0058.
The assessment of the laboratory's forensic science capabilities shows the
crime laboratory has an infrastructure and experienced staff able to deliver
quality forensic services to the criminal justice community in Fresno County.
The Crime Laboratory is comprised of the following staff:
(1) Crime Laboratory Director
(0) Supervising Criminalists
(7) Criminalist Specialists (Advanced Journey level)

(0) Level I Criminalists
(1) Non-technical Support Staff
Qualifying full-time scientists (including Supervising Criminalist and the
laboratory director/project manager) comprise the technical staff that currently
numbers nine (9).
The Crime Laboratory is organized into three technical units: Biology,
Chemistry, and Firearms. The laboratory administration which includes the
director, DNA Technical Leader, Firearms Technical Leader, Controlled
Substance Technical Leader and Quality Assurance Manager.
The level of complexity of forensic casework has increased significantly in
recent years as judges and juries become more sophisticated in their
understanding of the capabilities of forensic science. There is an expectation on
the part of the jury that a complete and thorough scientific analysis of the
physical evidence must be conducted by trained and knowledgeable forensic
scientists. Together with the scientific analysis of physical evidence and scientist
expertise are the capabilities of the Crime Laboratory. II

The Crime Laboratory is equipped with over$1 million of modern
laboratory instruments designed to analyze drugs, and biological specimens for
DNA profiling, and firearms evidence.
Plan
The crime laboratory plans to provide continuing education and training
in technical and professional skills to the laboratory's forensic scientists in order to
improve their level of expertise, ensure that they effectively and efficiently
conduct their laboratory work; and, in turn maintain quality and reduce case
turnaround time.
Knowledge, training, and experience are among the most important
attributes of a forensic scientist. These are often combined under the general
heading of "expertise." The crime laboratory has had to seek out and provide
training opportunities to qualifying scientists to develop and maintain expertise
i
and proficiency in their current assignment or discipline.
The intent of the laboratory's Professional Development Program is to: 1)
develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the laboratory staff in order to
ensure continuous quality improvement of their work product; 2) create a

positive workplace environment; and 3) maintain the laboratory's prominence in
the forensic science community.
Professional forensic scientists working at the bench level need to keep up
to date on new developments in the forensic field through continuing
education, which typically is comprised of two components: theoretical and
practical.
Theoretical training focuses on the knowledge a scientist needs to
understand his/her job in the forensic laboratory. Theoretical training may cover
such topics as how a particular analytical method or piece of equipment works
and generally consists of specialized or university-level educational courses.
Practical training provides the scientist with the skill set and an ability to
successfully perform his/herjob in the forensic laboratory and generally consists
of external, short informational courses or workshops from a variety of sources. It
was recommended in Forensic Sciences: Review of Status and Needs2 that in
addition to theoretical and practical training all forensic scientists should have
formal quality assurance and expert witness training.

Combined, these two training components -theoretical and practical-
are expected to improve an analyst's quality of casework and their ability to
efficiently turnaround cases in a shorter time.
Maintaining a well-trained staff of professional forensic scientists at the
Crime Laboratory improves the quality of forensic services, expands the
knowledge base of forensic scientists within functional areas, and reduces case
turnaround times by virtue of employing well trained forensic scientists with
appropriate skill sets to complete the work as expediently as can reasonably be
expected.
The equipment used in the laboratory is also extremely important. The
firearms section of the laboratory needs a high-speed video/still camera. This
will allow more in-depth analysis of the firearms in action and speed up the
analysis process and in turn decrease our turnaround time, increasing our
efficiency.
The Coverdell 2022 Program will provide the crime laboratory with funds for
the continuing education/training and equipment needs of the laboratory to
enhance of quality of forensic services. Some of the opportunities identified by
the Laboratory's Director for continuing education/training include the symposia

of professional forensic science organizations, staff development seminars
provided by government agencies, drug enforcement seminars, the California
Criminalistics Institute, and courses provided by equipment manufacturers,
laboratory sponsored seminars and conferences, and/or university level courses.
The equipment identified as being needed for not only health and safety of the
Criminalists within the lab, but also for the efficiency and quality of the services
being provided by the firearms unit within the laboratory.
Implementation
ANAB accredits the crime laboratory to the ISO 17025:2017 standard. The
laboratory had a reaccreditation inspection in June of 2022 and received its
Certificate of Re-Accreditation, number FT-0058, which now expires on
10/31/2026. The laboratory is accredited in Firearm s/Toolmark, which is the area
that funds will be used to provide training. The crime laboratory uses generally
accepted laboratory practices and analytical procedures to conduct the
analysis of forensic evidence in accordance with accreditation guidelines.
To maintain accreditation, the Crime Laboratory must submit a new
application for accreditation every four years and undergo on-site inspections.
The 2022 Accreditation inspection was the crime laboratory fifth on-site

and FBI QAS requirements.
Certification of External Investigation
The Director of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Forensic Laboratory
certifies that the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs Unit exists external
to the crime laboratory's administration and an appropriate written process is in
place to conduct independent external investigations. The crime laboratory
agrees to notify Cal EMA Coverdell Program staff regarding all complaints or
allegations of serious negligence or misconduct by employees or contractors
substantially affecting the integrity of forensic results. At the conclusion of the
i
investigative review process by the Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs Unit (an
investigative body external to the crime laboratory) the crime laboratory
director will notify Cal EMA Coverdell Program staff as to the resolution and that
the matter has been resolved.
Program Obiectives
There are two program objectives relative to the Coverdell 2022 Program:
• Provide educational opportunities and appropriate training for
qualified forensic scientists.
