LODIS v CODIS Ratio’s (CODIS data from FBI.GOV website)

Why DNA hasn’t been used for all crimes:

Too expensive

Took too long to get results back

Local agencies lacked control over use

No effective method of managing DNA test results

No direct access to discuss cases with the

Technicians

DNA doesn’t have to be expensive

LODIS reports in a useful format

Officers have direct access to our Technicians

Minimal training is required to collect DNA

LODIS gives you the power to apply DNA technology based on its priorities
