DISCUSSION
In November 2004, California voters passed the Proposition 69, "DNA Fingerprint, Unsolved
Crime and Innocence Protection Act" to expand and modify state law regarding the collection
and use of criminal offender DNA samples and palm print impressions. The California Penal
Code was modified and states that each agency is responsible for the collection and
management of DNA samples. On January 1, 2009, per Prop 69, agencies became responsible
for collecting DNA samples from all adult felony arrestees. The Department's Forensic Services
Section is responsible for the evaluation and collection of all crime scene DNA samples. It is
also tasked with the management of DNA cases, including the tracking of all department initiated
analysis requests and all related DNA analysis results.
Prop 69 provides for the reimbursement of some of the expense associated with these increased
DNA collection demands. The Police Department's 2012 Prop 69 allocation of $30,508 includes
$19,412 for DNA collection reimbursement and $11,096 to replace a refrigerator /freezer units
used to store DNA samples.
