2 Instrument Performance & FBI RDNA Enhancement of CODIS Biometrics: Big Data, Analytics & Biometric Enable Intelligence December 13, 2013 Jennifer Wendel FBI Laboratory

3 Rapid DNA Analysis (Law Enforcement Rapid DNA) 3 Rapid DNA describes the fully automated t (hands free) process of developing an STR profile from a reference sample buccal swab. The swab in profile out process consists of automated extraction, ti amplification, separation, detection ti and allele l calling without human intervention. NO RAPID DNA INSTRUMENTS OR KITS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE FBI FOR SUBMISSION OF SAMPLES TO NDIS/CODIS 2

4 Supreme Court of the United States Decision: Maryland v. King, 133 S. Ct (2013) 5-4 Decision: Collection of DNA from Arrestees is constitutional DNA identification of arrestees is a reasonable search that can be considered part of a routine booking procedure. 3

7 CODIS and Rapid DNA Integration 7 (Vision) The swab in profile out integration of Rapid DNA into CODIS requires the development of the Rapid DNA Index System (RDIS). RDIS consists of a two hour, two step process. The first step involves developing a CODIS DNA profile from an arrestee in under one hour and then searching the National DNA Index System (NDIS) during the second hour. RDIS Integration Phases Phase 1: Rapid Enrollment (Portal) Expand NDIS registration beyond 54 SDIS Phase 2: Rapid Hit Notification - Notification to the booking station and the investigating agency 6
