The primary goal of this workshop is to begin preparing CODIS laboratories for the FBI’s future vision and implementation of crime scene Rapid DNA for CODIS enrollment. It is estimated that national crime scene Rapid DNA Quality Assurance Standards may be available as early as the first quarter of 2025. Presentation topics include progress on the FBI’s vision, expanding a CODIS Laboratory’s scope of accreditation to locations outside the laboratory to include partner agencies, lessons learned from non-CODIS crime scene applications, and important concepts regarding future national crime scene Rapid DNA Standards and Procedures. The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion with all presenters from the workshop.
After completion of the workshop, participants will have an in-depth understanding of the FBI’s vision for integration of crime scene Rapid DNA for CODIS, what will be needed to implement crime scene Rapid DNA outside the laboratory, and will gain valuable insight to begin planning for their agency to conduct crime scene Rapid DNA analysis outside of the traditional laboratory setting.
