Chemical Analysis Section – encompassing toxicology, controlled substances, and general chemistry.
Forensic Biology/DNA Section – specializing in the analysis of biological evidence and DNA profiling.
Identification Section – including firearms/toolmarks, latent prints and digital/computer crimes analysis.

In addition, the Division is supported by two non-analytical sections:
