(INDIANAPOLIS) - CODIS is the Combined DNA Index System which came into existence by legislative act in 1996. As originally enacted, the law required people convicted of crimes against persons or burglary to provide a DNA sample, or profile, for the database. In 2005 the law was expanded to include DNA profiles of persons convicted for any felony offense. The samples are collected at Indiana Department of Corrections locations, county jails and probation and community corrections facilities across Indiana. Once collected the samples are submitted to the Indiana State Police Laboratory in Indianapolis where they are analyzed and converted into profiles. Aside from DNA profiles of convicted felons, DNA evidence recovered from crime scenes believed to have originated from an unknown suspect is also entered into CODIS. Examples of crime scene DNA evidence collected could include a bloodstain on a broken window or seminal material from the victim of a sexual assault. Read More. |
