LODIS v CODIS Ratio’s (CODIS data from FBI.GOV website)
Why DNA hasn’t been used for all crimes:
Too expensive
Took too long to get results back
Local agencies lacked control over use
No effective method of managing DNA test results
No direct access to discuss cases with the
Technicians
DNA doesn’t have to be expensive
LODIS reports in a useful format
Officers have direct access to our Technicians
Minimal training is required to collect DNA
LODIS gives you the power to apply DNA technology based on its priorities
