DNA
Can DSS Sustain Reduction?
• Case Management Section– Triage case information between analysts and stakeholders leaving analysts to focus only on processing case work
– Contacted submitting agencies resulting in administrative completion of DNA, Firearms and Latent Print cases
– Audit and optimize Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to remove duplicative information
