The California Penal <br />Code was modified and states that each agency is responsible for the collection and <br />management of DNA samples. On January 1, 2009, per Prop 69, agencies became responsible <br />for collecting DNA samples from all adult felony arrestees. The Department's Forensic Services <br />Section is responsible for the evaluation and collection of all crime scene DNA samples. It is <br />also tasked with the management of DNA cases, including the tracking of all department initiated <br />analysis requests and all related DNA analysis results. <br />Prop 69 provides for the reimbursement of some of the expense associated with these increased <br />DNA collection demands. The Police Department's 2012 Prop 69 allocation of $30,508 includes <br />$19,412 for DNA collection reimbursement and $11,096 to replace a refrigerator /freezer units <br />used to store DNA samples. <br />20A -1 <br />
