PROBLEM STATEMENT What is the problem that the project will be addressing? Briefly describe the statistic. and/or information that was gathered to illustrate the problem. (Limit - '/ page) The Colorado Bureau of Investigation Forensic Lab that provides free drug identification to all municipal and state law enforcement agencies in Weld County, and throughout the state,has an excessive "turnaround"time for analysis of these cases. Local agencies must transport the drug cases to and from Denver to get them analyzed. The CBI chemists have to travel to Greeley to testify in the 19"' Judicial District courts if a case goes to trial. The Greeley/Weld County Forensic Laboratory is the only accredited forensic lab in Colorado, and employs me chemist- also known as a criminalist. The lab has used thorough quality control procedures in the past, but must now I rroduce a formal quality manual to meet new accreditation standards. The "quality system"must include an annual quality audit. Authoritative sources estimate that mandated "quality system" activities, including the annual audit, will take an estimate' 10-15%of the criminalist's time. Maximizing the efficient analysis of casework will allow time for new quaky assurance demands. Continued accredited status assures the agencies served that lab results are as reliable as possible The Weld Co. Drug Task Force wants to offer free drug identification through the Greeley/Weld Co. Forensi s Lab as a benefit of actively supporting the Task Force. The turnaround time for analysis would be reduced compared-:o that offerer by CBI.. However,to make this a reality,the Greeley/Weld County Forensic Lab will need to increase its on y chemist's efficiency by purchasing a new gas chromatograph /mass selective detector with an auto-sampler. He currently has a backlog of cases for lab analysis. He is also the only chemist in northern Colorado that is clandestine lab cen ified, and on call for clan lab seizures. His current caseload and other commitments leave no time to take on additional cap eworL. Without the automated system,this free service cannot be offered by the Drug Task Force. 2. PROJECT PLAN Briefly describe the project. (Limit - 2 pages) The Greeley/Weld Co. Forensic Lab provides analytical services in the specialties of controlled substances identification fire accelerant identification and paint comparisons. It is funded locally on a 50:50 basis by the Greeley Police Departmer and the Weld County Sheriffs Office, serving those agencies as well as the Weld County Drug Task Force. It employs o' full time laboratory director/criminalist (chemist), and has been accredited by the only accrediting authority for crime lab. in the United States,the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors' Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB), since 1991. This lab has a proven track record of providing quality service to federal agencies such as th Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Customs Service working with the Weld Co. Drug Task Force. This lab reports are routinely accepted in federal drug prosecutions. The overall goal of this project is to make drug investigations and prosecutions as efficient as possible in We Id County. A r essential element(pun intended) of the drug investigations and prosecutions is the conclusive identification of a drug, determining if it is a controlled substance or not. This essential element can often be a bottleneck in the investigative and judicial processes. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation's Forensic Lab system has a large backlog of drug cases that mist be prioritized on a statewide basis- The gas chromatograph/mass selective detector with manual operation that the Greeley/Weld Co. Forensic Lab currently has is obsolete and can't be fitted with an autosampler. The added efficiency of the gas chromatograph/mass selective detector with auto-sampler would allow the lab to handle an increase in case submissions that would be expected when all law enforcement agencies in Weld County supporting the Task Force use th Greeley/Weld County Forensic Lab services. The analysis will be free of charge. The tumaround time for these cases wil be less than what CBI's lab can offer, reducing the investigative bottleneck in drug analysis. Colorado Division of Crimin J Just -Revise' '01• There are advantages to the District Attorney's Office having one analyst for all drug cases they would deal •vith The public defenders and defense attorneys would know that getting a lab analysis done and the analyst to testify won't be a problem. Priorities would be set in the lab much more effectively at the local level to meet investigative need:. cour imposed deadlines and trial dates. There would be less travel of CBI analysts out of their lab to testify in Gut eley The lo' Judicial District's courtrooms are half a block from the Greeley/Weld County Forensic Lab. Most municipal law enforcement agencies and the local Colorado State Patrol officers in Weld County, and the University of Noi them Colora,io Police Department would have a shorter, easier commute to Greeley with their drug cases. Goals & Objectives GOAL 1 RESPONSIBLE PERSONNEL Make the gas chromatograph/mass selective detector with auto-sampler functional Larry A.

PROJECT EVALUATION (limit- 1 page) What will be measured? How will it be measured? How will the results be analyzed? GOAL 1 Every effort will be made to hold the manufacturer to a 4 week delivery deadline, as specified in the price quote given in budgeting for this purchase. The chemist will monitor the ship date for the system, and coordinate the arrival of an installation engineer fora. soon as possible after the system is scheduled for arrival. After an installation date is set by the manufacturer,the chemist will reserve a place in the first available 40 hour training class offered by the manufacturer after installation is scheduled to be complete. As soon as possible after completing the training,automated analysis methods will be established and validated. Every effort will M made to have the system completely operational by September 30, 2001. GOAL 2 Reduce the drug case backlog steadily for the Forensic Lab from July 1, 2001 to the end of the grant year, June 30 2n02. The backlog will be reported quarterly and at the end of the fiscal year. The backlog will be reduced by at least 20'!/1) in the First quarter of the grant period; 40%in the second quarter. 60"/%in the third quarter and 80%in the last quarter of the grant yc.r. The number of drug cases and items analyzed during that time will be reported. GOAL 3 The number of drug cases and items from municipal agencies, the Colorado State Patrol and U.of N. Colorado P.D. that have user CBI Forensic Lab services in the past, and that are analyzed at the Greeley/Weld Co. Forensic Lab will be documented. These numbers will be tracked with the specific agencies served. These numbers will be reported quarterly and totaled for June 30, 2002 The time from when evidence has an analysis request made to when the analysis report is completed will be tracked and reported a c the turnaround time. GOAL 4 All analyses of drug cases using the gas chromatograph/mass selective detector with auto-sampler will be done whin the analyst not in the lab. The chemist's time in the lab will be spent with the other tasks associated with the analysis such as making the lab notes,weighing the items, doing sample preparation, using the infrared spectrometer and writing the lab report. Each item analyzed on the GC/MSD/auto-sampler takes 30 minutes. This means that during the 16 hours that the Ian isn't occupit d. 32 samples can be analyzed. Each item analyzed should take about 30 minutes less to complete. The current time rot handling any analyzing each unknown powder item is 2 hours. The analysis time for each item will be recorded and compared with the 2 hour average the lab now has. Colorado Division„fC'rinnna Justive-2.eN Isxt 0 SECTION III-BUDGET 1. BUDGET TABLE 1-A.

BUDGET NARRATIVE: Refer to instructions. Follow the same categories and line items as in the Budget Summary. It should be noted that the Forensic Lab equipment budget will provide about 80%of the matching money for t he grant. Hall of the equipment budget money comes from the Greeley Police Department budget and half comes from the Wcle County Sheriff's Office budget. 1-A.No personnel expenses regarding the forensic lab criminalist or anyone else are being requested. 1-B.Helium is a"carrier gas" essential for the operation of the GC/MSD/auto-sampler. Helium must flow through the system all the time the system is powered up. The only time the system is powered down is for maintenance or a technical problem The system will consume approximately one tank of ultra high purity helium every 2 months. Colorado Division ofCnminal Justice-Revis. 9/00 1-C. It is essential for the chemist to learn how to operate the software and hardware at a manufacturer's training class. Thr will maximize the efficient use of the system. The only training classes for GC/MSD/auto operation are at the Agilent Technologies training facility in Atlanta. GA. The cost of round trip airfare,hotel and meal expenses are estimated Count\ 'cr diem is $25 per day. 1-D. The gas chromatograph/mass selective detector with auto-sampler is the only chemical analysis equipment used to conclusively identify drugs that can be automated. As many as 100 samples, unknowns, standards and blanks, can be prepar d for analysis, and set to run overnight or for as long as necessary, unattended. The system can address all"quality control' issues, from positive correlation of samples to analysis results with bar coding, to the automated analysis of blanks to docum at that samples aren't being contaminated by"carryover." to the automated analysis of known standards for irrefutable drug identification. This is the most sensitive technology that conclusively identifies drugs.The two chemical libraries are used it - two kinds of search routines, and are excellent in helping determine the identity of unusual chemicals often encountered in street drug analysis. The libraries also contain most controlled substances. A maintenance agreement is included in the purchase price. These systems have proven to be, for the vast maj gity of users_ extremely reliable. However, once one becomes dependent on the system's volume of sample throughput. any problems need to be handled as quickly as possible_ The complexity of these systems makes user troubleshooting and repair a very unlikely prospect. 1-E. To learn the complexities of software and hardware operation and maintenance_the chemist must attend.i 5 day trainii class taught by Agilent Technologies professionals. 4.

Drug Task Force, Greeley Police Department,Weld County Sheriff's Office and the 19th Judicial District Attorney** Office. 2. Planning(Limit %page) Briefly describe the collaborative efforts/planning that have already occurred. Lt. Spies from the Weld Co. Drug Task Force suggested pursuing a grant for funding of the gas chromatograph/ mass selectil- detector with auto-sampler so that the Forensic Lab could handle more cases. The Forensic Lab Board of Supervisors,made u of representatives of the Greeley Police Department,the Weld County Sheriff's Office and the District Attorney's Office, supported this idea. Thu Board suggested pursuing the Byrne Grant avenue. Most of the equipment money that was in the lab budget for 2001 is being used to provide most of the match money. The Weld County Drug Task Force Control Baard agreed t add the money necessa:yr to provide the match money total to get a complete system with appropriate libraries and maintenan=e. The D.A.'s Office strongly supports this project and its goals. 3. Impact(Limit one page) Describe the impact (anticipated or that has already occurred)on any other agencies and organizations as a result of this project. The added analysis capacity for the Greeley/Weld County Forensic Lab will help the Weld County Drug Task Force get the maximum number of municipal police departments in the county possible to contribute to the Task Force operation, making that group more self sufficient. The police departments will see some tangible benefit even if the Task Force isn't carrying out undercover operations in their jurisdictions. The added capacity and efficiencies described will ensure that there is adequate time for the Forensic Lab to meet its quality assurance requirements,maintaining its accredited status. The decrease in the turnaround time for drug cases will mean the court system should benefit. Defense attorneys will know the t the progress of the judicial process will not be stalled by a bottleneck in the lab analysis. Cases should be more quickly resolve-1, making the judicial system more efficient. The CBI Forensic Lab will have a reduction in their drug caseload, and many other law enforcement agencies in Colorado could benefit from that fact. The population boom in Weld County will continue for the foreseeable future. The workload will almost certainl; continue to grow with it.Acquiring the gas chromatograph/mass selective detector with auto-sampler will allow the lab to delay the addition of another chemist for as long as possible. Investing in efficient technology will save the City of Greeley .md Weld County money when compared with the expense of adding personnel.
