Report 97-41, February 1998

View Report

Report Summary

  • The Investigations and Forensic Science Program's workload has increased over the past three fiscal years.
  • The impact of Program services cannot be accurately measured due to limitations of the Fiscal Year 1996-97 performance measures and standards.
  • The Legislature revised the 1997-98 and 1998-99 performance measures to address these shortcomings. We recommend that the Legislature make additional modifications to the 1998-99 performance measures and standards.
