New York, NY the nation’s first gun crimes unit
New York City is creating the nation’s first gun crimes unit at a public DNA crime laboratory. Employees will focus exclusively on testing and analyzing evidence from gun crimes in the city. The $2.5 million DNA Gun Crimes Unit is expected to speed evidence test turnaround times to expedite gun crimes through the criminal justice system. Currently, testing turnaround is 60 days, and that should drop to 30 days when the new unit becomes fully operational.
