What is the FBI ERT?<br />

The FBI Evidence Response Team (ERT) is a group of trained and equipped FBI personnel<br />

specializing in organizing and conducting major evidence recovery operations. They manage the<br />

identification, collection, and preservation of evidence at crime scenes. In the case of aviation<br />

accidents, the ERTs are available to the NTSB to provide a standard level of scene<br />

documentation, mapping, photography, videography, and evidence/wreckage recovery. Each of<br />

the FBI’s fifty-six Field Offices has an ERT, consisting of 8 to 50 members. These teams train<br />

to develop and maintain their organizational and forensic skills; most have aviation disaster<br />

experience.<br />

What is the FBI Disaster Squad?<br />

The FBI Disaster Squad is a team of trained experts in the area of fingerprint identification who<br />

can be activated to support the local medical examiner in the victim identification process. The<br />

FBI Disaster Squad has access to the FBI fingerprint database and is able to collect latent prints<br />

to assist in identification.<br />
