What if you could craft persuasive budget proposals that get your requests NOTICED and APPROVED?

Maybe you...

...find it difficult to plan long-term initiatives and allocate resources effectively

...can't seem to convincingly justify big budget request to higher authorities

...or struggle to manage a complex budget effectively.

But, you haven't been given the proper guidance necessary to maximize the impact of your forensic unit's budget.

I was in the

SAME BOAT!


It gets easier once you learn how to optimize your budget + better communicate your needs!


Listen, I know how overwhelming this can be! Especially when you're not equipped with proper training or guidance to address the unique challenges and needs faced by forensic units.


But as a supervisor, it's our responsibility to figure out how to can secure the funds needed for our forensic unit to effectively operate and grow! So for years, I had to learn budget strategies through "trial by fire".

Now, I want to pass those strategies on to you so that you may have a head start (and maybe avoid some hardships along the way). Will it be easy? Nope. But how much better could your forensic unit be if you're able to streamline the budget process and get more funds for the things you need?

This process includes:


  • Gaining a solid grasp of important fiscal year deadlines
  • Strategically preparing for potential budget cuts
  • Mastering the art of justifying your forensic unit needs
  • Essential steps to take after approval to ensure every dollar is utilized wisely
  • ...and more!

Budget Management for Forensic Units

Successfully Meet Your Forensic Unit's Needs with Better Budget Strategies

Hi! It's Erin West, MS, CLPE, CCSA


Since 2021, I've been managing the budgets for the Crime Scene Unit, Latent Print Unit and Evidence Unit at a local Sheriff's Office in Central Florida.


Each unit's budget came with different challenges - the Crime Scene Unit had been previously managed with a small binder and loose handwritten sticky notes, the Latent Print Unit budget needed to be created from scratch, and the Evidence Unit was operating on a bare-minimum budget.


But what made matters worse is there was no training or blueprint to help guide me through these challenges. That's why we created Gap Science - to provide other forensic professionals with knowledge, training and resources we wished we had throughout our careers.
