There is new technology coming to Colorado that promises to help investigators process crime scene DNA faster.
That processor can speed up the process of identifying victims, especially in mass casualty situations. The machine can process DNA in less than 2 hours.“Having the ability to process DNA on site, in a matter of hours, greatly improves our ability to find and notify decedent’s families. This identification allows loved ones to have a burial, to obtain death certificates and to receive justice, in some cases,” says Dr. James Caruso, OME’s Chief Medical Examiner, in a statement.
The machine is also mobile and can travel to different locations in the nine-county region. It can also help identify people who remain unknown. The grant is part of the Urban Area Security Initiative. The grant not only covers the purchase of a DNA processor but also the equipment necessary to run the machine, including hardware, software, hundreds of tests, access to databases, and training of staff.
