- Meyer_Kaplan abstract "Meyer "Mike" Kaplan (1923–2004) was an American-born Israeli forensic scientist.Kaplan was born and raised in New York City. He received a Pulitzer scholarship for his B.A. (1941) from Columbia University. In 1947 his received his M.A. in Philosophy from there as well.Upon completing his graduate degree, Kaplan and his wife, Sylvia née Kolatch, volunteered to work for Aliyah La-No'ar in France, teaching World War II refugee children and bringing them to Marseilles, where they were prepared for illegal immigration to Mandate Palestine. After the declaration of the State of Israel, Kaplan and his wife moved to Israel, escorting 120 children to Haifa, Israel on the ship Pan York (renamed Kibbutz Galuyot).After a six-month stay in Kibbutz Yavneh, Kaplan moved to Jerusalem. There he abandoned his original plan to study for a doctorate at the Hebrew University and pursue an academic career. Instead, he decided to found the forensic science unit of the nascent Israel Police.Kaplan studied in the University of California, Los Angeles, but besides theoretical knowledge, he also acquired practical experience. Following a request by the Consulate of Israel, the Los Angeles Police Department allowed Kaplan to spend several months watching investigations and training in its forensic laboratories.In 1952 Kaplan returned to Israel and began what was to be a 35-year career in the Israel Police, first in Tel Aviv, then in Jerusalem. Soon he headed the Scientific Section of the forensic laboratories, then in 1965 he began a 19-year tenure as head of the Division of Criminal Identification (Hebrew, מז"פ). For ten successive years he was the Israel Police delegate to Interpol.Two important events where his involvement was crucial, were his assistance in the identification of Adolf Eichmann before his capture and trial, and the introduction of dogs to locate bodies of fallen soldiers after the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Of more long range importance, Kaplan was responsible for the professionalization of the forensic laboratories, bringing in scientists with graduate degrees and promoting research, but at the same time stressing the practical goals of the police.Kaplan orchestrated over the building of a national network of evidence technicians, who collect evidence at crime scenes and forward it to the laboratories for examination. This was based on accurate and complete evidence collection being a major key to forensic science. If evidence is not collected and forwarded for examination, he felt, then the potential of the forensic science laboratories is wasted. Therefore, he built an evidence technician network that has professional responsibility to the laboratories, which teach, evaluate, and update the technicians to maximize upon evidence collection.In private life Kaplan was elected president of the Association of Americans and Canadians in Israel (AACI). There he advocated a then-controversial program of not only assisting North American immigration to Israel, but also promoting it abroad.".
