Our approach to solving high volume crime
Property crime affects every neighborhood, and the overwhelming volume of evidence can place significant demands on agency and government laboratory resources. More importantly, these crimes are often deeply invasive, leaving victims unsettled and unsafe in spaces where they should feel most secure. Solving those cases early often means taking a repeat offender off the streets before they escalate to more serious violence. Often, the DNA recovered from these cases is low-level, composed of multiple DNA profiles creating complex mixtures, or does not meet the criteria for CODIS entry — yet it can still provide valuable investigative leads.
DNA Labs International offers a scalable, customized solution to tackle property crime evidence based on your caseload and budget. We perform high-throughput DNA testing from possible contact DNA swabs and other evidence and enter it into our local DNA database, Helix HITS™.
Helix HITS™ is offered to you at no cost and is securely housed and maintained by DNA Labs International, giving you additional chances for information and inter-agency hits, even if the profiles are not eligible for CODIS.
From burglaries to car theft, we help bring the full potential of DNA to property crime investigations. Our automated processes and proprietary collection protocols, combined with the ultra-sensitive technologies in our DNA Toolbox™, such as next generation sequencing, deliver exceptional recovery rates from property crime samples.
