Preferred term

Combined DNA Index System  

Definition

  • Imagine a law enforcement tool that can take biological information from a crime scene, enter it into a computer, and obtain information sufficient to tentatively identify a suspect for investigation. Similar to automated fingerprinting systems, genetic profiles can be obtained from a crime scene, people (to include victims or offenders), or items belonging to missing persons.
