BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WEL COUNTY, COLORADO ATTEST: da Weld County Clerk to the Board County ttorney Date of signature: 3/2-i /2 - colt K. James, Chair 2022-0883 SO0043 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASS -AROUND REVIEW PASS -AROUND TITLE: Coverdell Grant - 2023 Training DEPARTMENT: Sheriffs Office Crime Lab PERSON REQUESTING: Daren Ford, Lab Director /J -4646e DATE: 03/11/22 Brief description of the problem/issue: The Regional Crime Lab can apply for $28,040 in training funds from a Coverdell Formula Grant. These federal funds are provided to each state in the form of a formula grant based upon the number of Type 1 Crimes found within the five partnered agencies associated with the crime lab. The lab has utilized this grant for the past several years to train and certify the analysts from all partnered agencies. This grant does not require matching funds. Having examined the needs of the lab and areas where training is needed most, I have identified training opportunities and am requesting funding from the grant. The funding would provide funds to cover both the cost of the courses and travel. The identified training includes three staff to attend the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors Leadership course, three courses for the Digital forensic examiners, three courses for the latent print examiners, and one trade show for a firearms examiner to attend. I have attached part of the grant form which should be completed by the 28`h of March. What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): *Approve the request for training funds ($28,040) for lab analysts. This provides additional funds for the lab to keep its analysts current on issues that affect their work product on the bench and in the courtroom. *Not approve the request. Recommendation: I recommend the Board approve the request to apply for the grant. Perry L. Buck Mike Freeman, Pro-Tem Scott K.

agencies that have combined staff, and along with CBI staff housed in Greeley, to provide forensic services to the Northern Colorado region, primarily to the participating agencies The lab in conjunction with the CBI was accredited in May 2015 in chemistry, biology -bodily fluid identification, firearms and latent prints In addition, the areas of Biology -DNA Nuclear and Digital & Multimedia Evidence (DME) were accredited in 2016 The lab is seeking to train forensic scientists in their area of expertise to continue to improve the quality of forensic services to the people of Northern Colorado and address the concerns of the National Commission on Forensic Sciences (NCFS) This training will also include the training of a DME analyst that will be involved in the processing of electronic evidence associated with the illegal distribution of synthetic opioids 15 Coverdell Purpose Area -answer not presented because of the answer to #3- 16 Problem Statement What is the problem that the project will be addressing2 See instructions for further information We are seeking training funds to expand the knowledge, skills and abilities of the forensic analysts in the NCRFL We have several new employees that have been added to our lab and so we are seeking the expanding their skills We also are addressing the concerns of the NAS and P -CAST reports regarding accreditation and certification The training we are seeking for our staff will expand their current knowledge and skills within their discipline This will help them in maintaining their certification and for a few it will aid in their certification process Additionally, the opioid issues are not solely a drug analysis process The other areas of the lab are vital in the identification and characterization of both users and distributors, so expanding the skills and knowledge of the analysts in their disciplines will also pay dividends in cases related to opioid use and distribution 17

implemented and how the proposed activities will result in the projected outcomes and achieving the goals and objectives proposed in the application See instructions for further information We will be sending lab staff to identified trainings that further support the mission of the NCRFL These trainings provide needed knowledge and skills for our scientist that further or at least maintain our strategic goals (backlog reduction, improvement of quality and timeliness) The trainings include three courses for latent print staff, three courses for our DME staff, three courses for staff to attend leadership courses to improve leadership and quality within the lab system and finally attendance for one analyst to attend a firearms trade show to better understand emerging weapons and ammo as potential evidentiary items 27 PROJECT OUTCOMES (EXPECTED RESULTS) Describe how this proposed project will positively impact a) Improvement in quality and timeliness We expect that with the knowledge gained our examiners will be better prepared in the examination and analysis processes of the evidence In some instances, this knowledge will reduce the backlog as they become more efficient However, it may also be possible that they are able to do more exams, providing better quality while at the same time addressing issues with the current backlog 28 PROJECT OUTCOMES (EXPECTED RESULTS) Describe how this proposed project will positively impact b) Anticipated reduction in backlog We expect that with the knowledge gained our examiners will be better prepared in the examination and

LABORATORIES - Please provide the name of the unit of local government that has developed this plan and the years the plan covers (Provide the signed certification on the Documents tab) The Northern Region Lab Group (NRLG) and CBI signed a MOU in 2013 this group of 5 agencies have determined to use the CBI quality system and its related laboratory policies and procedures to operate as a forensic laboratory 34 GENERALLY ACCEPTED LABORATORY PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES - Describe how the applicant agency complies with the certification Provide the name of the certifying accreditation organization being used See instructions for further information (Provide the signed certification on the Documents tab) ANAB is the current accrediting body The NCRFL works with the CBI in providing forensic laboratory services to the region It has placed itself under the CBI's quality system and therefore operates under all the CBI Forensic Science Services policies and procedures as set up by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The policies and procedures have been reviewed by the accrediting body and the laboratory undergoes an annual review to assure compliance. We perform monthly and annual audits, review all work and reports for technical competence and accuracy. All analysts undergo proficiency testing annual as required by policy. New analyst's complete competency testing prior to being release to conduct examinations. 35. EXTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS - Provide a detailed explanation of the process for ensuring an independent external investigation would be conducted in the event that an allegation of serious negligence or misconduct substantially affecting integrity. See instructions for further information. (Provide the signed certification on the Documents tab) 1. The CBI quality system has in place a system to review instances of that may affect the quality of the laboratory system. It is defined in the Quality Manual of the CBI laboratory system. Anyone in the system can report on an incident of quality concern in the form of a quality incident review (QIR). 2. All QIRs are eventually provided to the lab director for review before being given to the Quality Manager. Many of these QIRs are resolved at the level of the technical leader or lab manager. All others continue though the review process and in some instances the lab director determines the corrective actions that may need to be taken. That recommendation is then reviewed by the Quality Manager. 3. If on review the lab director determines that the QIR indicates an allegation of serious neglect or misconduct then, in addition to the paper workflow of the QIR, a call to the Quality Manager would occur. 4. The lab director would contact the Quality Manager of the CBI to determine the level of concern. 5. If it was of a serious nature and required an independent investigation then the lab director would contact the Weld County Sheriffs Office, Internal Affairs Unit to make them aware of the allegation and request their services to provide an independent review of the allegation. 6. Due to the unique nature of the regional lab (6 agencies provided staff in the lab) the agency whose employee was involved in the alleged action would be notified. They would be appraised of the situation and informed that an independent review would be done. 7. The lab director would review the results of the independent review and in concert with the CBI quality manager create a plan to follow through with the recommendation of the Weld County Sheriffs Office Internal Affairs Unit.
