Mission statement and strategy
Mission statement
On behalf of its clients, the NFI uses state-of-the-art technology and science to provide high-quality forensic services. Passionately dedicated NFI professionals concentrate on the prompt provision of comprehensible, objective and – if necessary – multidisciplinary forensic analyses, with the aim of improving the client’s information position.
Clients
The NFI provides services to clients within the criminal justice chain, such as the Public Prosecution Service and the police. A lawyer in a criminal case may also ask the examining magistrate or the public prosecutor handling the case to have the NFI conduct an examination. In addition, the NFI provides services to other persons or authorities, such as the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service, foreign police or justice authorities, or to special investigative services.
The NFI strives to achieve optimum customer satisfaction with regard to the range of products offered, the delivery times and the services provided. Core values are substantive objectivity and scientific integrity. Because the NFI conducts examinations objectively, the credibility and the reliability of the NFI are guaranteed.
Products and services
The NFI provides products and services with a high level of added value. The NFI is dedicated to Research & Development in order to be able to deliver state-of-the-art technology and science. With over thirty forensic disciplines, the NFI is the only institute in the Netherlands to offer such an extensive range of high-tech forensic services.
Staff
The employees of the NFI make a socially relevant contribution to the investigations in the criminal justice chain. They are enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate, and fulfil their role in the administration of justice as effectively and efficiently as possible. The staff members work within a single organisation, in a single multidisciplinary team. It is a team in which qualities are reinforced, in which people learn from one another and feel a common responsibility for the result.
Ongoing development
The field of forensic examination is subject to rapid and tempestuous development. Besides having to render account in court, the NFI is increasingly called to account publicly in the media. This raises the standards for the NFI’s communication, and the organisation examines itself critically. The NFI invests in expertise and innovation in response to social and technological developments. The NFI plays a leading role in this process, also in an international context, and wants to continue to do so.
