The County of Allegheny proposes a joint solution to the growing number of violent cold cases in their jurisdiction; law enforcement agents from the Allegheny County Police Department will utilize overtime for case review and subsequent investigation while the Allegheny County Medical Examiner and Crime Laboratory will receive evidence from the eligible cold cases and use the requested funding for analyst overtime to process cases, testing supplies, small equipment, and outsourcing of the DNA analysis. They propose to review at least 120 cases, and test 50-60 cases.
