DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department homicide unit currently maintains over SOO
open and unsolved homicide cases, several dating back to the 1960's. Due
to advances in forensic science technology, including DNA, fingerprint
analysis and firearms examination, many of these cases potentially contain
evidence that could identify a suspect. To effectively work these cases,
experienced investigators must dedicate a substantial amount of time
reviewing each individual case to identify evidence and determine if it is
suitable for modern forensic examination.
Although one full-time homicide detective works specifically with cold
cases, no further resources are currently available to assign to this area
as it would remove necessary personnel from the investigations of current
homicides. Therefore, the Police Chief is proposing the creation of a
part-time classification titled Cold Case Investigator. These part-time
investigators would perform a systematic analysis and prioritization of
cases potentially containing evidence, which could bring a cold case to a
successful conclusion.
