The Office of Forensic Support is a team of specially trained forensic consultants that assist in the processing of crime scenes.

- Review physical evidence in death cases.
- Including any action documents, photographs, sketches, and statements that relate to the scene
- Provide basic forensics training to NCIS Special Agents.
- Procure and maintain forensic equipment.
- Coordinate with labs and other experts to analyze evidence.
- Leverage partnership opportunities through participation in law enforcement working groups.
- Create 3D graphics to visualize crime scenes.
