Kilbourn Avenue, Suite 925, Milwaukee, WI, 532020 for reaccreditation services [e.g., full reassessment, annual fees, surveillance activities for a four (4) year accreditation cycle]. The American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB) is not-for-profit organization that offers voluntary accreditation to public and private crime laboratories around the world.
