A National Rapid DNA webinar is scheduled for Monday, January 13 at 12 pm EST. During the webinar, the FBI, FBINAA, and other notable speakers will discuss a significant FBI rule change to allow local law enforcement officers to test crime scene evidence tested on Rapid DNA and have those results searched quickly against the 20 million plus DNA profiles in CODIS.
