Policy Alert –\u00a0this is VERY important for Colorado. \u00a0Here is something you can do to help solve cases that have gone cold<\/span>. \u00a0Please email these Senators and tell them how you feel about this very important issue. \u00a0For instance in our daughter Morgan’s case – both of her stalkers\/murderers had criminal histories, if they had had their DNA collected at the time of their arrests then their DNA would be in the database. \u00a0The DNA database will help solve so many cold cases and get repeat offenders off our streets and locked away, where they can no longer hurt other innocent victims. Please use your voice on this very important issue. \u00a0Thanks!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collection of a DNA Sample from Offenders Convicted of<\/div>\n
Certain Misdemeanors Against Vulnerable Persons<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
DNA is currently taken upon conviction of misdemeanor crimes that are sexual. This bill extends the list to include certain misdemeanor crimes, especially those committed against women and children. Collection would still only occur upon conviction of the crime, meaning that no person’s DNA sample would be taken until they were found to be guilty.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are currently over 6,100 unmatched forensic samples in the Colorado DNA database. These crimes include murders and rapes, the majority of which are committed against women and children. Expanding the DNA database allows for law enforcement to be able to find criminals responsible for those crimes.<\/div>\n
