jan 1, 1910 - First forensic investigation lab ever

Description:

The origins of forensic science can be traced to a Frenchman called Edmond Locard, inspired by the still-then-fictional techniques he read about in Sherlock Holmes, and opened the world’s first crime investigation laboratory in 1910. Locard’s principle states that every contact made between two objects leaves a trace, and is still central to forensics.
