The Verdugo Regional Crime Laboratory (VRCL) performs DNA testing for over 30 local, regional, and federal law enforcement agencies. To address increased demands in DNA testing, and the existing DNA backlog, funds will be used for equipment validation, equipment maintenance contracts, and to train personnel. The VRCL Forensic Biology Unit will be able to increase sample capacity to reduce the number of backlogged cases by ensuring reliability and functionality of DNA testing instrumentation.
