Grever, former Executive Assistant Director of the FBI Science and Technology Branch. “Using advanced technologies such as Rapid DNA will fundamentally change the way law enforcement screens arrestees for links to unsolved crimes”, stated Louis E. We now have the potential to assist other investigations while a suspect is still in custody.” Now we have the ability to upload an arrestee’s DNA profile within two or three hours of an arrest.

Samples taken from the arrestees were analyzed using the RapidHIT system, which generated a full DNA profile in under two hours that was subsequently uploaded to the National DNA Index System (NDIS). This capability streamlines the current process of DNA profile hit-matching against crime scene evidence, to keep communities safer and exonerate innocent suspects.
