Summary & Background
Fulton County Police Department recommends approval of a sole source vendor DNA Labs International. DNA Labs International will provide Touch DNA processing of evidence collected from a Homicide Crime Scene in Fulton County and will use advanced techniques not otherwise readily available through normal means.
DNA Labs International is the only private lab that performs SPENTSHELLTM Collection, STRmix Analysis, and uses the M-Vac in-house. This evidence would normally be sent to the GBI crime lab for processing. The GBI crime lab does NOT provide the specialized testing required for this evidence.
Community Impact: New technologies and investigative practices can not only further a case and hopefully lead to a resolution, but it can also provide the families of victims with reassurance that law enforcement continues to search for answers.
Department Recommendation: Fulton County Police Department recommends approval of sole source vendor DNA Labs International.
