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
Helps your agency expand the use of DNA technology
LODIS reports in a format useful for the average law enforcement officer
Minimal training is required to collect
LODIS gives agencies the power to apply DNA technology based on their
own priorities
Information is relayed back in real time to the end user as useful feedback
Provides your agency with greater access to forens ic DNA tes ting for
inves tigations
Cos t effective based on batch submis s ions of samples
LODIS interface capabilities

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.
