Extractions: During this 84-hour experiential format, the student/recruit will be placed in a correctional facility for on-the-job training. The student/recruit will be assigned to a full-time correctional officer. While applying their academic knowledge in a real world setting, students/recruits will learn and perform the requisite duties for daily operations of a correctional facility. All work experiences will be reduced to written form on a daily basis and evaluated by the assigned training officer. At the completion of the practicum, these evaluations will be used to assist in determining performance competency and certification potential. Starting with the origins of American law enforcement, this course concentrates on contemporary law enforcement agencies and their function within the criminal justice system. Students will study police agencies at the local, county, state, and federal levels, and their operational techniques, as well as goals and objectives within specific units of each agency.

Extractions: November 2000 The Crimes Amendment (Forensic Procedures) Bill 2000 (the Amendment Bill) will enable Commonwealth law enforcement agencies to collect DNA samples from individuals in relation to Commonwealth offences. One of the primary purposes of the Amendment Bill is to assist with the establishment of a national DNA database as part of the CrimTrac initiative. Crimtrac is a national criminal investigation system being established by the Commonwealth Government, in co-operation with State and Territory Governments, which will facilitate the exchange of information between jurisdictions and the use of new investigative techniques such as DNA testing for the purpose of criminal investigation. Because the Amendment Bill will only govern the Commonwealth component of the national DNA database, the adequacy of its privacy and accountability safeguards cannot be considered in isolation from the legislative and administrative framework of the DNA system as a whole. In particular, the protection of individual rights in the national DNA system will depend on the enactment of nationally consistent forensic procedures legislation by all States and Territories. The system will also need to be capable of independent third party oversight, including from a privacy perspective. The CrimTrac Agency, which will manage the DNA database, is a Commonwealth agency that is subject to the

Extractions: Job Opportunities The DCI DNA Profiling Section. The DNA Profiling Section provides examinations to law enforcement agencies at no cost. Items from criminal cases are examined for the presence of human DNA. DNA can be found in biological fluids, tissues and bones of the body. If DNA profiles are obtained from samples in question, comparisons may be made to known DNA profiles from individuals believed to be involved. The DNA Profiling Section also determines the DNA profiles of convicted offenders and stores their profiles in a computer database. Comparisons are made between the profiles found in the convicted offender database and the profiles obtained from criminal cases where no suspect has been identified. What is DNA? DNA is an acronym for the genetic material deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is found in all nucleated cells of the body. The DNA humans receive from their parents is unique with the exception of identical twins. The DNA found in an individual's blood is the same DNA that is found in their saliva, tissue, bone, etc. What is DNA testing?

Extractions: National Post Saturday, October 12, 2002 VICTORIA - Lindsey Jill Nicholls, 14, planned to meet her friends in Courtenay on Aug. 2, 1993. Like many teenagers who live in rural communities with limited bus service, she decided to hitchhike. What should have been a 10-minute ride has turned into a nine-year nightmare for Lindsey's family, because the blond-haired, green-eyed teenager never made it to where she was going. Rob Kruyt, National Post. Judy Peterson with daughter Kim, is campaigning for a missing persons DNA data bank. Her daughter Lindsey disappeared in 1993. Since that day, Lindsey's mother, Judy Peterson, has struggled with the questions that surround her daughter's disappearance. Mrs. Peterson hoped answers about Lindsey's fate could be found through DNA matching, but now her hopes are on hold until Canada's DNA legislation catches up with technology. Canada's two-year-old DNA Identification Act has already been outpaced by DNA science and the ethical challenges that come with it, so the Justice Department has initiated a public consultation process that will continue until the end of this month.

Interactive Exercise The Crime Laboratory The terms "forensic science" and "criminalistics" are often used interchangeably. The effectiveness of crime laboratory services can be measured in terms of three criteria: quality, proximity, and timeliness. The speed at which technological advances with forensic applications are developing, expanding, and evolving makes their description immediately obsolete. Advances in technology have helped DNA testing to become an established part of criminal justice procedure. Questions about the validity and reliability of forensic DNA test methods have been addressed, and for the most part validity and reliability are established. As a result of DNA testing, traditional blood testing and saliva testing have been rendered obsolete because DNA is found in these substances and, if fact, is found in all body tissues and fluids.

Extractions: Contact: Janet D'Alesandro, janetd@ajj.com Forensic Nurse, Crime Experts, Urge Senators to Overhaul DNA Analysis System PITMAN, NJ Testifying before a Senate panel last week, a Delaware forensic nurse and member of the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) said that the country?s health care and judicial systems continue to fail 8 out of 10 rape victims. Debra S. Holbrook, a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE), told the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs that nurses continue to witness "patients being re-victimized when they come to ERs." She said victims now face "hit or miss with their judicial outcome" because so many health care providers have not been trained in forensics and frequently ruin valuable DNA evidence. The May 14 hearing was called by subcommittee Chairman Joseph R. Biden (D-Del). Biden and several other members of the Senate and House have introduced bills to solve widespread problems that have left thousands of rapes and other violent crimes unsolved nationwide. Along with better training for health care workers, law enforcement officers, and others who respond after a rape, Biden said he was introducing a comprehensive bill "to strengthen the existing federal DNA regime as an effective crime fighting tool." A major part of the legislation focuses on a staggering backlog of DNA evidence in rape kits that is now sitting on shelves in law enforcement offices and laboratories across the country. Biden said "woefully inadequate funding" has left 180,000 to 500,000 rape kits unprocessed.
CrimTrac data is a critical element in the criminal investigation process, whether fingerprints,providing faster and more accurate data collection and matching. http://www.crimtrac.gov.au/fingerprints.htm
Extractions: The use of fingerprint data is a critical element in the criminal investigation process, whether the data is collected at a crime scene or from a suspect or from a convicted offender. In 1986 Australia led the world by establishing the first National Automated Fingerprint Identification System, known as NAFIS. Fifteen years later, that system had run out of capacity, and had been eclipsed by new technologies used by police services in Europe, the United States and New Zealand. CrimTrac's new NAFIS takes Australia's fingerprint technology into the twenty-first century. What happened previously? When police took a suspect's fingerprints, they used the same technology that their counterparts did at the start of the twentienth century - printer's ink, a roller and a slab. This process was time-consuming and could result in poor data quality, particularly if the person concerned was unwilling to cooperate with the police officer taking the prints. Having taken a charged person's fingerprints, police sent the fingerprint card to their Fingerprint Bureau. The prints were then scanned into the old NAFIS computer and searched against the 2.4 million records on the national database. If NAFIS found a 'match', a fingerprint expert then verified the identification. The relevant police officer was then notified of the match, along with the courts, where relevant.

Extractions: From individuals Although its enthusiasts refer to DNA profiling as 'genetic fingerprinting' it is both less precise and far more invasive than traditional fingerprinting. Modern techniques allow fingerprints to be taken without even the inconvenience of an inky hand. DNA sampling requires the insertion of a needle into the flesh or a swab into a bodily orifice. Legislation in Victoria allows for prisoners to be held down and a swab to be forcibly inserted into their mouths. This is the closest thing to legalised rape since cavity searches for drugs. Yet body searches and fingerprinting can only be done when someone is strongly suspected of a criminal act. Under current proposals all NSW prisoners will be subject to such treatment in spite of being under no suspicion of committing an unsolved crime. There is also a proposal for all those arrested for any offence in NSW to be subject to such an invasion of their body. Noone should be forced to give up bodily material against their will. That people suspected of no crime could be forced to give DNA samples simply so that the police can go fishing in an attempt to solve outstanding cases would represent a serious erosion of civil rights in this state. Even suspicion of serious criminal activity does not of itself justify DNA testing. Only in a tiny minority of cases is DNA evidence relevent to investigation or prosecution. In most cases, such testing would represent not only an unnecessary expense and invasion of privacy, it would also serve to decrease the quality of important DNA testing through tying up resources and increasing contamination risk. Following the enthusiasm of New York police chief Howard Safir for mass DNA fishing expeditions, a large backlog has developed in the analysis of rape test kits which might be used to link (or eliminate) a known suspect with a recent crime.

Extractions: The BCCLA recognizes and supports the aim of amending the Criminal Code and the Identification of Criminals Act to allow law enforcement authorities to obtain a warrant to collect DNA samples from suspects in serious crimes, to demand DNA from those arrested for serious crimes, and to bank DNA information for legitimate law enforcement purposes. Framing policies and procedures to institute these practices and to identify their limits is a matter of some urgency, both because of the potential value of DNA printing as a law enforcement tool and because of the civil liberties issues that these practices raise. This brief is an attempt to put these issues in perspective and to make recommendations for policy that will put law enforcement and civil liberties interests in balance. DNA samples are now most frequently analyzed in North America by a technique called restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). For each sample, a DNA sequence from the same chromosomal region is cut, and a stain or picture of it is produced, which is called an autoradiograph. Autoradiographs look like bar codes. These are visually compared to discover if the patterns of DNA are identical. This process is typically repeated four other times for different chromosomal regions of the DNA molecule. If the DNA patterns for each of the five chromosomal regions are identical, a match has been found. The confidence that the two samples have been correctly matched (that they came from the same person) depends on the quality of the samples and the stringency with which the tests were applied. If there is a discrepancy in any of the five samples, the tissue samples did not come from the same person.
