DNA databasing – Regional Offender DNA Index System (RODIS)

IntelliGENETICS proudly offers RODIS, a sophisticated DNA database system.  RODIS is an advanced DNA indexing tool designed for both large and small law enforcement agencies.  Using a proven computer program with flexible search algorithms and advanced laboratory technology, RODIS lets you link unsolved crimes and associate the criminal with the crimes in your local community.  Adjacent towns and counties can pool their data for even more efficient policing and safer communities.  RODIS is similar to CODIS except you control what goes into RODIS and you get your answer immediately rather than weeks later.

DNA analysis is performed using state of the art technology that is capable of obtaining DNA profiles from many types of crime scene evidence including touch DNA (contact DNA) often encountered in property crimes. With recent technological advances it is possible to obtain DNA from crime scene items such as fingerprints, eating utensils, writing implements, clothing, objects with abrasive contact, smoking implements, drinking containers, steering wheels and door handles.  Most of these items can now be processed using standard procedures allowing for rapid turnaround time to obtain results.  The DNA profiles from crime scene evidence and suspects is then uploaded into the RODIS searchable software.   The system works very similar to CODIS and NDIS (National DNA Database) and the national fingerprint database (IAFIS).  RODIS compares the DNA profiles from crime scene evidence to the evidence from other crimes in the database as well as the DNA profiles of suspects in the database.  The DNA profiles from evidence items can be linked across crime scenes creating a web that tracks the activities of individual suspects.

RODIS can solve no-suspect crimes fast.
