Cost of Laboratory Analysis, Including DNA
Properly developed, implemented and communicated procedures for processing evidence collected at a crime scene are critical to cost-effectiveness within the crime laboratory.
Consider the following cost-management methods:
- Limit duplication of services and tests
- Limit analysis to the most probative items of evidence
- Limit courtroom waiting time for laboratory personnel
Investigating agencies, laboratories and judicial agencies should actively communicate with each other to work on implementing a method that addresses cost and resource issues associated with laboratory services.4
