The NCJA Center for Forensic DNA Policy & Practice and Tech Halo are proud to host a new six-part webinar series focused on forensic DNA.

The first session introduced the new NCJA Center for Forensic DNA Policy & Practice. It unpacked the Center’s mission for the entire criminal justice community – law enforcement, prosecutors, crime lab personnel, and more – and touched on the priority areas driving its work: expanding offender DNA collection, advancing Rapid DNA adoption, closing the gap on lawfully owed but uncollected samples, and strengthening hit tracking and follow-up between system partners.

Future webinar sessions will discuss each of these priorities in greater depth:

• Expansion of Offender DNA Collection
• Implementation of Rapid DNA Technology
• Lawfully Owed Sample Audits
• System Partner Identification and Hit Follow up
• Forensic Genetic Genealogy

Dates for upcoming webinars will be available in the coming months.
