My e-mail is nrivera_at_cityofgriffin_dot_comStandard 83.2.7 The agency has DNA evidence collection capabilities and written directives, which include:
a. first responder responsibilities and precautions;
b. procedures for the collection, storage, and transportation of DNA evidence;
c. DNA evidence collection training requirements for persons collecting evidence; and
d. procedures for the submission of DNA evidence to accredited laboratories.
