Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Crime & Law
Mission: Dna saves seeks to educate policy makers and the public about the value of forensic dna. Dna saves is committed to working with every state to pass laws allowing dna to be taken upon arrest, and to provide meaningful funding for dna programs. Volunteers advocate for changes in legislation and funding for dna collection and for its use in catching repeat offenders sooner, preventing violent crimes, exonerating the innocent, protecting civil liberties, and reducing the costs of the criminal justice system.
Programs: Legislative advocacy is the cornerstone of this association's purpose. Jayann sepich regularly speaks with legislators at all levels of government educating and urging them to adopt model legislation which would both create and fund the collection and use of dna in solving and preventing crimes.
dna provides educational resources to law makers, law enforcement agencies, as well as the general public on the uses and benefits of dna testing.
