GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS A NEW ILLINOIS STATE POLICE TRACKING SYSTEM SHOULD HELP CHIP AWAY AT THE BACKLOG OF D-N-A EVIDENCE THAT NEEDS TO BE PROCESSED.

THE LABORATORY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OR “LIMS” STREAMLINES DATA COLLECTION AND RECORDING OF EVIDENCE. GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS IT’S THESE TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STATE’S FORENSIC UNIT THAT WILL HELP WITH THE CURRENT BACKLOG.

I-S-P ACTING DIRECTOR BRENDAN KELLY SAYS THE LABORATORY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, OR “LIMS” MAKES IT EASIER TO TRACK THE PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS OF D-N-A SAMPLES. 

LIMS ALSO LETS LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS TRACK THE D-N-A EVIDENCE FROM THEIR CASES TO SEE HOW FAR ALONG IN THE PROCESS THE SAMPLES ARE.
