What Is Proficiency Testing?

In science labs everywhere, the government sends test-cases to make sure everything's kosher.  This prevents cheaters like Annie Dookhan from getting away with not working too hard. The FBI may be worried that some cops are incompetent, despite their equipment and uniforms.  So they make up easy cases to solve (for example "killers" like Austin Sigg) to see how detectives do their jobs (please donate generously in memory of Jessica Ridgeway).  Labs that don't test correctly are closed down or fined.  Police who don't do their jobs right are berated by Greta Van Susteren, who is a very smart woman.
