No witnesses

No File of cases

Not enough evidence

Not enough technology to combat

street level crimes

Not enough time or manpower

Why DNA hasn’t been used for minor crimes:

Too expensive

Local agencies lacked control over use

No effective method of managing DNA test results

(case-by-case)

It required specialist to collect and “read” the results

Has been in proces s for over four years and proven effective

CODIS v. LODIS

CODIS Property crime

samples are low priority for processing and upload

LODIS Focus is

primarily property crimes

All crimes scene samples can be analyzed and uploaded to LODIS

DNA was 5 times as likely to identify a suspect when compared to fingerprints

DNA was 2 times as likely to yield an arrest With DNA evidence, more than twice as

many cases were accepted for prosecution The larger the DNA database, the more

likely the identification was made. This has been seen in agencies now using LODIS

With LODIS, DNA becomes an actionable intelligence investigative tool for everyday use within the law enforcement community.
