When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples. Today: ZERO. 🔺 1.81M+ samples processed 🔺 Backlog had been growing by roughly 75,000 samples per month 🔺 Hundreds of thousands of samples were arriving each year 🔺 Profiles can help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes 🔺 Equipment upgraded 🔺 Resources redirected 🔺 Technology improved 🔺 Bureaucratic barriers removed DNA profiles belong in CODIS helping law enforcement solve crimes—not stalled in a government backlog. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are rebuilding the FBI around one standard: MISSION FIRST. -DKP🇺🇸

You asked for results, we made the changes necessary for this FBI to deliver- one example, DNA: We are statutorily required under the “DNA Fingerprint Act of 2005” to receive and process collected DNA samples from federally convicted offenders, arrestees, and non-U.S. citizen detainees. These samples are required to be sent to the FBI Laboratory Division (LD) for processing – we get around 50k a month. This literally solves crimes across the country, like unsolved homicides, mass shootings, sexual assaults, and other violent offenses. There had been a massive backlog at the FBI Lab for decades. On August 1, 2024, the pending DNA backlog for these samples was over 1.81 million, literally breaking federal statutory requirements. A typical example of institutionalized bureaucracy from prior leadership that left crimes across America unsolved. When we got here, we changed it. This FBI dedicated more resources, more equipment, improved IT systems, and used business analytics for DNA processing. TODAY - that DNA backlog is officially at ZERO. Just more evidence of the monumental and necessary changes made by this FBI. Thank you, FBI Lab Division. -DKP🇺🇸
