GREENSBORO, NC (July 20, 2026) – The Greensboro Police Department’s Forensic Services Division has been named one of only 15 forensic laboratories worldwide to receive the prestigious 2025 Foresight Maximus Award.
This international distinction, which the division also earned in 2023, recognizes top-performing laboratories that operate at 90% or better of peak efficiency.
The division's peak operational efficiency directly translates into timely forensic inspections that help solve crimes, identify unknown decedents, protect local neighborhoods by aiding in successful prosecutions, and maximize public safety dollars.
“Our achievements are the result of the department’s support and trust, as well as the collaboration with internal and external justice system partners," said Kelly Moore, GPD’s Director of Forensics. "The Greensboro Police Department fosters an environment in which the value of forensic services is deeply recognized and cultivated."
Moore credits the global achievement to her team’s unwavering commitment to their community and purpose-driven productivity.
“Members of this division genuinely care about our local community and greater societal good as a whole. They are passionate and people-centered, have a love for science, and are motivated by a deep desire to serve with heart and integrity," Moore stated.
"Participation in Project Foresight has allowed us to continue empowering our team with streamlined processes and data-informed workflows,” Moore said. “Our examiners and specialists are exceptional, they have to be, because ultimately the work they do extends to serve as a voice for our victims and bedrock for safer communities.”
Maximus Award selection is based on rigorous business metrics established by Project Foresight. Launched in 2007 through a cooperative agreement between the John Chambers College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University (WVU) and the National Institute of Justice, the Foresight program is a business-guided, assessment tool for forensic science laboratories. The process involves standardizing definitions for metrics to evaluate work processes, linking financial information to work tasks and functions. Through this data, forensic managers can assess resource allocations, efficiencies, and the value of services. The core mission of Project Foresight is to measure, preserve what works, and change what does not—creating a global, business-guided self-evaluation system that has optimized laboratory performance across the U.S. and internationally.
