Memo
To: Weld County Board of Commissioners Date: 25 February 2009
From: Matt Jorgenson, Director Subject: JAG Application
Dear Board,
The purpose of this memo is to briefly describe what I will be bringing in front of the board on
Monday. Last year the Northern Regional Lab Group was awarded a grant that was to help with
the latent print section getting established as a regional unit. As Laboratory Director, I was
asked to facilitate this grant and, as my governing body, was put in front of you to approve. This
year's application is an extension of that project in that it will be asking for a piece of equipment
that will benefit the chemistry section — helping analysts of both the Greeley -Weld County
Forensic Laboratory and of the Colorado Bureau of Investigations.
Thank you for your consideration,
Matthew L. Jorgenson
Laboratory Director

SECTION II - PROJECT SUMMARY
(Refer to Instructions)
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
What is the problem that the project will be addressing? Briefly describe the statistics and/or
information gathered to illustrate the problem. Use local data when possible (Limit - one page)
Larimer and Weld County Colorado have large populations (283,000 and 229,000 respectively) that are
spread over rural and municipal law enforcement jurisdictions. The area includes three major cities:
Fort Collins (132,000), Greeley (83,000) and Loveland (61,000). Two of the communities also have
medium to large public colleges, Colorado State University and the University of Northern Colorado
(enrollment 24,000 and 13,000 respectively). There is much diversity in our respective communities,
including how we police. Over the past two decades much has been accomplished in terms of sharing
resources. Drug Task Forces and Special Weapons and Tactics teams work together, as well as the
existence of joint Emergency Management plans. Until recently, however, little has been discussed
about what we have and what could be shared in the area of forensic investigative services.
In order to address the large amount of requests for forensic service in Northern Colorado, we have
partnered with the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center, Rocky Mountain
Region (N.L.E.C.T.C.-R.M.) and Colorado Bureau of Investigations (C.B.I.) to establish a regional
crime lab in northern Colorado. For instance, the Weld County Sheriff's Office and Greeley Police
Department combined to hire a chemist. With the commitment of CBI, we have an additional chemist
dedicated to Northern Colorado. Our agencies' combined totals for the area of chemical analysis were
395 and 337 cases for years 2007 and 2008, respectively. Add to this the caseload CBI has to work for
the other large agencies in Northern Colorado of 211 for 2007 and 317 for 2008 and this volume
explains the backlog of requests for service and the delayed turnaround time and efficiency. This is
where we are seeking grant funding; to compliment the area of chemical analysis with new equipment
with the goal of significantly impacting the time it takes to complete analysis and to more fully analyze
these cases to give the agencies a more effective result to their casework. We are making great strides in
unifying other forensic disciplines and would like to continue by aiding the chemistry unit.

2. PROJECT PLAN
A. Describe the plan to accomplish your project's goals and objectives. Identify the timeline
and milestones needed for completion. Include a discussion of project resources and
responsible parties. (Limit - two pages. This section includes goals & objectives)
The first step of this project is to bring together all of the resources that each agency currently possesses
in each discipline under one roof. This is currently being addressed in the areas of latent print analysis,
digital evidence analysis, and chemical analysis. The second step of this project, and where we seek the
grant funding, will be to acquire and put into use the resources sought and to enhance the local service
deliverables. The following outlines these actions as agreed upon by the Board of Directors made up
from each of the respective agencies involved in the Northern Regional Lab Group (N.R.L.G.) as it
pertains to the chemical analysis section.
Objective One: Acquire and use the technology of Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
(LC/MS), a technique that can be used in all facets of chemical analysis. Controlled substances cases
are and will continue to be one of the highest through -put cases in forensic science. An LC/MS will
provide the Northern Region with a technique that will help aide in the analysis of samples that we
currently do not have the technology to examine, such as inorganic materials from clandestine
laboratories, and to get at samples that are problematic (such as mushrooms in chocolates or LSD on
candies) when using techniques that are currently available to the analysts in the chemical analysis
section. Also advantageous is the LC/MS's ability to identify chemical components much more rapidly
than techniques currently available. Approximately thirty to fifty percent of samples taken from
clandestine laboratories are inorganic or complex in nature. Additionally, more and more samples are
made up of complex matrices. The N.R.L.G. currently has no access to equipment that would efficiently
analyze these types of cases. The awarding of this grant will grant us the ability to get the results the
requesting agencies need in a timely and more complete fashion. The addition of LC/MS technology
will be complimentary to our current systems, resulting in the local chemical analysis section's
examiners having an incredible advantage.

Colorado Division of Criminal Justice -2009 JAG application
B. Goals & Objectives: Concrete objectives should be defined for the project that are time
framed and have measurable outcomes/outputs. These are the elements against which your
project will be evaluated.
GOAL 1: Outfit the regional chemical analysis section with the equipment necessary to
efficiently and effectively perform analysis on requests for forensic services in Northern
Colorado, specifically those involving chemistry related evidence.
OUTPUT/OUTCOME
MEASURE & TIME FRAME
OBJECTIVE 1.1: Acquire an LC/MS system.
Purchase upon receipt of grant
and implement use upon
validation of the technique.

3. PROJECT EVALUATION (Limit - one page)
A. How will project success be determined? How will it be measured? How will the results be
analyzed? Describe the impact of the project and its affect on other agencies and
organizations.
Note: Specific performance measures may be required for each grant program area when
required by federal grant guidelines.
Objective One: The acquisition an LC/MS will help provide the highest quality of analysis to our users
by the ability to increase the number of analyses done per analyst and the types of analysis that can be
completes by the chemical analysis section.
Based on the amount of time that the analyst has to spend on casework (in the case of the Greeley -Weld
County Forensic Chemist, 25% of the time allotted per month), preparation time, clean-up time, run time
of the instrument, and down time of the instrument, the following tables are representative of the
comparison between the current technique of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry analysis and
LC/MS analysis of samples commonly encountered with complex matrices as well as standard cases.

As you can tell by the percentages, a great reduction in the analyst's time spent in analysis per case will
result in an increase in the amount of cases that they are capable of analyzing in the same time frame.
As the number of complex matrix cases increases, the productivity of the analyst only improves.

B. Will research be conducted as part of this project? ❑ NO Ai YES
If yes, check the type of research proposed:
Ai The planned research/evaluation activities do not involve the collection of
information identifiable to private persons.
Since this technique of analysis is new to this laboratory, and evaluation period will be
necessary to validate the technique and to create analytical methods for the types of
analysis to be done. This will take approximately three months, depending on the
availability of resources and the analyses to be done with this technique.
❑ The planned research/evaluation activities involve the collection of information
identifiable to private persons.
If the second box is checked, describe the procedures that will be put in place to
ensure administrative and physical security of identifiable data and to preserve
anonymity of private persons to whom information relates (Limit'/: page).

SECTION III - COLLABORATION
(See Application Instructions)
1. Other Agencies and Organizations (Limit to one -page)
A. Describe the collaborative efforts/planning that have already occurred.
All of the agencies involved in this endeavor have been meeting on a regular basis and have created a Board of
Directors consisting of members from each participating agency. This Board has been making considerable
head -way in the development of the Northern Regional Forensic Laboratory. Without the existence of one roof
under which to house the entire laboratory staff, an intermediary solution has been fashioned. The current asset:
that each agency has in place in the area of latent print examination will be housed in the Fort Collins Police
headquarters building in the area that currently houses their laboratory. Digital evidence is being done as a
regional effort in an office space in northern Greeley and chemistry is being housed in what is currently the
Greeley -Weld County Forensic Laboratory. This is a great first step in the combination of all forensic services
into a full service forensic laboratory servicing all of Northern Colorado.
B. Identify other agencies, organizations, and planning groups that will be included in the planning and
implementation of this project.

1. Project Changes (Limit - one-half page)
Describe significant project changes (programmatic and/or budgetary) in the new grant application.
This is an additional discipline inside of the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Laboratory. The grant that
we are currently working under goes solely to the latent print analysis section.
2. Plans for future funding (Limit - one-half pag)
Briefly describe the plan for reducing reliance on federal funding and how the project will be wholly (or
partially) funded at the end of the 48 months of funding eligibility.
This continuation of the grant is to purchase one piece of equipment. As this regional lab grows in its scope and
as the participating agencies plan and budget for it, the reliance on federal funding will be reduced.
Please note: Lack of a plan to fund this project after 48 months could result in denial of funding. Also, the
Advisory Board looks more favorably upon projects that increase their percentage of match each year.
