The Netherlands Forensic Institute, (Dutch Nederlands Forensisch Instituut) is the national forensics institute of the Netherlands, located in the Ypenburg quarter of The Hague.
It is an autonomous division of the Dutch Ministry of Justice and resorts under the Directorate-General for Law Enforcement.
History
On July 30 1945 the government decided to install a Justice Laboratory. Three years later, November 4, 1948, the laboratory became a department on its own in the Ministry of Justice.
In 1951 a similar institute was founded: Gerechtelijk Geneeskundig Laboratorium (Judicial Medical Laboratory), which was later renamed Laboratorium voor Gerechtelijke Pathologie Laboratory for Judicial Pathology.
Pathologist dr. Jan Zeldenrust was the first CEO of this laboratory.
November 1, 1999 both laboratories integrated to Nederlands Forensisch Instituut (The Netherlands Forensic Institute).
The laboratory was based in Rijswijk until October 2004, when it moved to the Ypenburg quarter of The Hague.
