FY 2019 DNA Backlog Reduction Program - San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department - Scientific Investigations Division (Crime Laboratory) is responsible for analyzing evidential material associated with criminal investigations for local law enforcement agencies within the counties of San Bernardino and Riverside.

Our objectives will be to fund a new DNA Criminalist position to assist with the analysis of sexual assault kits, fund overtime and supplies to complete backlogged DNA cases, fund necessary training of analysts, and fund the replacement of aging equipment within the lab.
