    Working in the UK as a DNA analyst it seems that quite a lot of the police there are more forensically aware. They all have PACE swab kits with them and we get lots of samples.

    However I'm just wondering about back home - how aware are you of things like DNA evidence and is it actually used that much day to day? In the UK they use it for all sorts of volume crime like burglaries, theft etc all the way up to murder.

    I'm wondering if the lack of database has anything to do with it.

    Dna and forensics in general are becoming much more widely used in ags now, the knowledge about it is more apparent now too. best practice and all that. Which i think is a great thing for court, identification etc

    All scenes that warrant it are forensicly examined to the highest standard. The databases are up and running with the help of our UK counterparts and is AFIS.

    Now im going to close this thread. Personnally I dont like people being forensicly aware and wouldnt want members giving away too much here.

    If people disagree....pm me. Thanks:)
