Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation The Science and Technology Branch (STB) is a service within the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The STB is responsible for providing forensic science, applied technology, identification, information sharing, and automated analysis support capabilities to the FBI and the larger law enforcement community.

Grever served as the STB Executive Assistant Director from October 2008.[3] The first STB Executive Assistant Director was Kerry E. Haynes who was appointed in 2006.[4]

Organization

The STB was formed by the unification of the FBI's various scientific, applied technology, identification, and investigative support units.
