GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER AND THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE SAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES, THERE IS NO LONGER A BACKLOG OF FORENSIC KITS WAITING TO BE TESTED.
THIS IS A RESULT OF ADDING MORE RESOURCES TO THE STATE POLICE'S FORENSICS DEPARTMENT, AND IS A HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT FOR SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND OTHER CRIMES SAYS THE GOVERNOR.
THE GOAL SET IN STATE STATUTE IS TO PROCESS THE D-N-A KITS WITHIN 180 DAYS. THE STATE POLICE HAS NOW HIT THAT MARK SAYS DIRECTOR BRENDAN KELLY.
THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE WEB PAGE HAS A TRACKING SYSTEM FOR SURVIVORS TO FOLLOW THE PROGRESS OF EVIDENCE FROM THEIR CASE.
