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 and there are no matching funds required. Having examined the needs of the lab and areas where training is needed most, I have identified training opportunities and am requesting funding. Two classes would be for DME (Digital Media Evidence) staff in the areas of cell phone and computer forensics, which would help assist in the reduction of the cell phone and computer backlog. Four classes for latent print examiners to assist with getting or maintaining their certifications, two classes to training video analyst in the latest recovery of evidence techniques and lastly one class for a DNA analyst to help maintain her certification. I have attached part of the grant form which should be completed next week and is due to be submitted by March 5th. What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): *Approve the request for training funds ($24,300) 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.

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 grant includes two trainings for Digital Multimedia Evidence (DME) analysts that will be involved in the processing of electronic devices associated with the illegal distribution of synthetic opioids. 15. Coverdell Purpose Area to, To improve the quality and timeliness of forensic services and to reduce the number of backlogged cases in forensic laboratories To implement recommendations as adopted by the National Commission on Forensic Sciences (NCFS) to strengthen the forensic science communities 16e Problem Statement: What is the problem that the project will be addressing? See instructions for further information. We are seeking training to increase the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the forensic analysts in the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab. We have several new employees that have been added to our lab and so we are seeking to expanding their skill sets which in turn will improve the Lab's overall quality and backlog. In addition, we are seeking to address the concerns outlined in the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and PCAST reports. The lab has experienced a significant increase in request for latent print processing and comparisons. The lab has identified four courses to expand the skills and knowledge of the analysts and prepare them for certification. One of the courses also helps with supervision within the latent print section which will help identify deficiencies and quality related issues. The lab has one analyst working cases involving audio/video and with the serge of submissions related to audio/video we need to train a new analyst to assist in this section. We have identified trainings which will fit that need for the grant. The lab has also identified the need to ensure managers have training which supports them as leaders and helps understand the quality related issues within a lab. The ASCLD Leadership course has been selected to provide that need. The use of electronic devices in the sale and distribution of illegal drugs including synthetic opioids is expanding and this does impact the lab and the need to provide DIME mobile media services to the local law enforcement agencies in the regions. We have had additional requests for services relative to the sale and distribution of illegal drugs (including synthetic opioids) in the past years and so it is critical to have trained analysts in the DME section that can assist in the examination of electronic devices. `l7.

ACCREDITATION: Based on the state's priorities, applicant agencies must be fully accredited or applying for funds to assist them in their pursuit of accreditation. Describe whether the agency applying for funds is accredited or applying for funds in pursuit of accreditation. The NCRFL is a participant in the CBI's quality system and as such is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory by ANAB (formerly ASCLD/LAB) in the disciplines of Drug Chemistry, Biology, Firearms/Toolmarks. Latent Prints, Digital & Multimedia Evidence and Other. 26. PROJECT PLAN: Clearly describe how project activities will be implemented and how the proposed activities will result in the projected outcomes. See instructions for further information. Digital Media: The lab has identified two individuals that will receive training in Cell phone forensics which is the primary DME submission. Some of these submissions are from devices involved in the opioid distribution and child sexual exploitation. We have identified a class that is essential in training these individuals to perform cell phone forensics. Once training has been completed the analysts will return, complete any competency tests needed and begin applying the knowledge gained in casework. The lab has identified two individuals that will receive trainings in audio/video processing. One course will be from Law Enforcement and Emergency Service (LEVA) and the second training is from The National Center for Media Forensics. The DME manager will be attending the ASCLD-Lab Leadership course to assist in her knowledge and skills in dealing with staff and quality related issues for the section. Latent Prints: The laboratory has identified courses that speaks specifically to the concerns of the latent print community regarding the issues addressed in the NAS and PCAST reports as well as other national reports. The lab has identified four different courses for the four latent print analysts. The four courses are IAI conference, Analysis of Distortion in Latent Prints, Forensic Training for Latent Print Supervisors, and Understanding Exclusions and Sufficiency Decisions. These courses will address the issues and provide insight for examiners as they process casework and prepare for court. In addition, the CE credits earned from this classes have been approved for either certification or recertification. BIO: The ISH133 conference has been identified for our DNA analysts. This course provides invaluable content for issues related case processing, quality, and the never-ending backlog. The conference also provides CE credits used to maintain certification. 27. PROJECT OUTCOMES (EXPECTED RESULTS) Describe how this proposed project will positively impact: a) Improvement in quality and timeliness. Over the past couple of years, we have seen a reduction in the submission of cell phones, but the phones that are submitted are difficult to process requiring advanced techniques to bypass connectivity related issues. As a result of the cell phone training received, we will be able to more efficiently process the submitted phones with a high success rate in obtaining the data. This will reduce the backlog of cases significantly in the DME- computer forensic unit thereby allowing the examiners to get to cases in a timelier manner. In addition, having a second analyst being able to process audio/video cases will significantly reduce the strain placed on a single examiner. The expansion of skills will reduce the processing time significantly for audio/video cases that are submitted. The SUPERVISOR COURSE / ISH133 for the latent print examiners will expand their knowledge, skills and abilities thus making them more efficient in the processing of their latent print casework. These efficiencies will result in cases being processed more quickly without losing the quality expected. This will be done by eliminating wasteful steps and developing the skills to compare more effectively known to unknown latent prints. 28. PROJECT OUTCOMES (EXPECTED RESULTS) Describe how this proposed project will positively impact: b) Anticipated reduction in backlog. The cell phone training will assist in accessing phone we previously were unable to access. The training provides tips and trick in bypassing various security measure on the phones. We anticipate that because of the cell phone training received, an additional 50- 75 phones can be processed in the lab reducing the backlog of cases significantly in the DME- computer forensic unit. We also expect that with the reduction in electronic devices we will be able to quickly respond to requests to identify individuals involved in the sale and distribution of illegal drugs (opioids) as well as the exploitation of children and human trafficking. Over the past year, we have seen an increase in latent print cases resulting in a significant backlog. We hired a new latent print examiner who will require these trainings to improve their techniques, allowing our latent print department to reduce the backlog efficiently and accurately. 29. PROJECT OUTCOMES (EXPECTED RESULTS) Describe how this proposed project will positively impact: c) Anticipated improvement in quality and timeliness of forensic results. We anticipate that the additional training in the digital media department will reduce in streamlined work efforts and faster turnaround times. Having an additional digital media analyst trained on video enhancement allows us to assist local law enforcement agencies faster on key cases that require quick results. For the two latent print examiners these classes will ensure that the results of their examinations are in line with accreditation standards. 30. PROJECT OUTCOMES (E PECTE R'{ RESULTS) Describe how this proposed project will positively impact: d) ,Anticipated benefit of education and training to reduce backlog and improve timeliness of results. In the past, latent print analysis was accepted by the law enforcement communities and the courts as a gold standard because of the "uniqueness of a fingerprint." Recent national reports have cast doubts on the significance of latent print analysis and results. The backlog of latent prints prevents our analysts from continuing education opportunities to ensure their analysis is accurate and complete. Sending our analysts to additional training will improve their techniques, they will be more efficient and thereby will be able to turn cases around sooner. Trained DME computer forensic examiners are more efficient as they learn the strengths of the software programs that are used to view images (photos, texts, data, etc.) obtained from electronic devices. 31. PROJECT OUTCOMES (EXPECTED RESULTS) Describe hove this proposed project will positively impacts e) Planned steps to achieve accreditation to positively impact quality and/or timeliness of forensic results. We are accredited, but as with all labs, accreditation is cyclical, and we are always in the process of reaccreditation or audits between cycles. This training will help assure that our examiners are receiving timely training in areas relevant to today's technologies and concerns. The training will also assist in the certification process for new analysts and provide the CE Units needed for those seeking recertification. Adding a DME analyst that is trained in assessing the section according to ISO : IEC 17025:2017 will ensure a successful assessment in 2023. 32. IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH - Explain the impl- nentation approach to be used to accomplisn the goals and .• bjectives being proposed. Upon receipt of the funds, the dates for classes will be identified and analysts will be registered to attend. Once all classes have been completed, the analysts will be able to apply everything learned to their daily case load resulting in faster turnaround time and a reduction in backlog. Coverdell only - In addition to submitting the required signed certifications answer the three question below 33. PLAN FOR FORENSIC SCIENCE 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 an MOU in 2013. The NRLG agreed to follow the CBI's quality system. The MOU does not have an end date so it is expected that the plan will cover all of 2022. (MOU mandates 18 months on dissolution) 34. GENERALLY ACCEPTED LABORATORY PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES a Describe how tha% 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) 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 also under all the CBI Forensic Sciences Services policies and procedures as set up by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The regional lab was assessed by ASCLD/LAB (national accrediting body) in 2015 under those policies and procedures and was accredited in all disciplines it made application for: chemistry, biology -body fluids, firearms, fingerprints and shoe and tire tracks. In 2016 the biology -DNA section and the digital multimedia evidence sections were assessed and accredited as well. At this time every section of the lab is accredited by ANAB (ASCLD/LAB was bought out by ANAB and now holds those documents). 35. EXTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS o Provide a detailed explanation of the pr•:cess fol. 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) If an allegation of serious negligence or misconduct were brought to the attention of the lab director, the lab director would do the following: 1. The CBI quality system has in place a system to review instances that may affect the quality of the laboratory system. It is defined in the quality manual of the CBI laboratory systems. Anyone in the system can report on an instance of quality concern in the form of a quality incident review (QIR). 2. All QIR's are eventually provided to the lab director for review before being given to the quality manager. Many of these QIR's are resolved at the level of the technical leader or a lab manager. All others continue through the review process and in some instances the lab director decides on 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 negligence or misconduct then, in addition, to the paper trail 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 serious nature and required an independent investigation then the lab director would contact the Weld County Sheriffs Office, Internal Affair's Unit (WCSO IA 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 providing staff in the lab) the agency whose employee was involved in the alleged action would be notified. They would be apprised 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 WCSO IA unit.
