title: Activity of the forensic entomology department of the French Gendarmerie.
abstract: The criminal research Institute of the French Gendarmerie deals with several disciplines which are part of forensic science. Forensic entomology is one of the last laboratories created in Rosny-Sous-Bois. As with all other departments of the Institute, its main mission is carrying out its expertise on behalf of justice. Another important mission is to educate on one hand the "scene of crime" officers in order to increase the quality of the specimens collected and on the other hand to magistrates to make forensic entomology better known. At last, a research program is available to follow scientific development and to improve services to justice.
