Forensic toxicology is vital in determining the cause and manner of death in homicide, suicide, and accidental fatalities. 3. Forensic Chemistry This unit uses chemical analysis to identify and compare substances such as drugs, explosives, and gunshot residues found at crime scenes. Forensic chemistry plays a key role in identifying suspects and providing evidence in drug-related crimes, terrorism cases, and firearm-related incidents. 4. Forensic Genetics This unit examines DNA samples and body fluids to identify suspects, victims, and evidence in criminal investigations. DNA analysis is one of the most reliable and powerful forensic tools used in solving crimes and presenting evidence in the justice system. 5.

Trace chemistry is essential in solving hit-and-run incidents, burglaries, and sexual assault cases. 6. Fingerprint Examination This unit analyzes fingerprints found at crime scenes to identify suspects and link them to specific offenses. Fingerprint analysis is one of the oldest and most reliable forensic techniques used in crime resolution. 7.
