The Regional lab is looking to replace the Forensic File Server currently utilized by the Digital Multimedia Section. The current Forensic File Server (FREDc) was purchased in 2011 and is a critical component for both the quality and efficiently of the DMF, section. The Forensic File server provides three critical needs for the V _ )ME section. First is provides 96 -terabytes of storage space that is needed to house data from examinations, the data stored on the system is then backed up via tape backup system. Lastly, it provides connectivity to the numerous forensic workstations in order to move data around during prcessing. The request for the grant would be to replace the entire server which at a cost of $73,500. what options exist for the Board? (inch' e consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): The volume of evidence between cases varies, but the 96-terabyte of storage on the file server is a limiting factor and only provides limited amount of time for data to sit on the system. We are limited to housing data to 120 days in order to ensure available storage space for new cases. If the system endures a catastrophic failure then the casework will be significantly impacted and evidence will be lost. The failure of the server would require data to be stored on multiple a lard drives to ensure redundancy and would seriously impact casework productivity. Alternative solutions have been reviewed, but the this system configuration (FREDc) is stillthe best option for the following reasons; easy of use, low maintenance, well developed security implementation/ measures, and it works with the current workstation configuration already in place. 0 ceome t data n: We would like the board to authorize the Regional Lab to apply for the grant. The board can always refuse to accept an award later in the process if necessary. L.17 ((cdo 2018-1193 ‘,500 39 Approve Recommendation Sean P. Conway Julie A. Cozad Mike Freeman Barbara Kirkmeyer.

To be conservative we sought to focus on our greater need, the FREDc Server. Since then we have been given a final figure and an add on objective for funding. The dollar amount was over double what was initially expected:. In addition, the grant managers have asked that the funds be spent on addressing the opioid issues in the region we serve. Therefore, we have added two more items of equipment: a device for latent prints t -at we had asked for east year on the grant a camera and imaging device to better detect and capture fingerprints on items submitted for both Fingerprints and DNA. The device will also, capture fingerprints on buggies prior to drug analysis providing a safety measure for examiners asked to process baggies containing an unidentified drug. In addition, there is a hand held Device that will allow us to capture the contents of the drugs h a boggle without opening the boggle. Again an added measure of safety for our analysts. I envision we can also use it at point of submission to test for the presence of these drugs prior to submission to provide immediate feedback to the submitting agency. The grant request is still for improvements in the lab so tie scope does not change. At this time all we are requesting is the opportunity to submit with no guarantee of receiving the award.

The Digital Multimedia Section (DME) of the NCRFL supports numerous law enforcement agencies and Judicial Districts within the Northern Colorado area. The DME section is responsible for extracting and processing digital data from a large variety of digital devices to include; cell phones, computers, DVRs and other digital media sources. A large volume of the requested services of the DME section pertain to cases involving either homicide or child sexual exploitation. These cases typically contain numerous items of evidence and naturally require extensive amounts of time to adequately process. Because of the numerous data sources associated with large cases the volume of data associated with the cases continues tobe problematic. Many cases require multiple terabytes of data storage to maintain all the digital evidence related with a particular case while the case is being adjudicated. The NCRFL DME section has several Examiners utilizing a single network based storage system (server) which is a critical portion of the DME workflow/storage architecture. The server provides a network for the examiners workstations and maintains a copy of the digital forensic evidence while cases are being worked and when the cases are complete. An additional working copy of the evidence is maintained on the, examiners workstations when the cases are in progress. This workflow process is done to speed the processing time and to ensure redundancy. The copy maintained on the server is needed to ensure the integrity of the examination and may be needed in the event the working copy becomes corrupted. The current server was purchased eight years ago and needs to be replaced as the service life of the equipment is approaching. The NCRFL has identified a FREDC server to replace the existing 8 -year -old server. The FREDC is a complete network based system with 100-terabyte storage RAID. The storage capacity allows for the long -tern storage of case related data and is designed to ensure data redundancy for Ciu.ia lity control. The system is also configured to ensure easy of data recovery in the event of a catastrophe failure. The FREDC has a Backup tape system designed for recovery of data in the event a catastrophic failure. The backup tape system also allows for long term storage of cases by storing individual cases to tape which can be removed and replaced as needed. The tape system assures quality control within the server in a cost-effective manner. The server is a complete standalone system installed by the provider to meet the needs of the ME section.

The area served encompasses a growing population of over 300,000 in the Northern Central Eastern areas of Colorado.. The lab in partnership with the 5 largest law enforcement agencies and the CBI Was fully accredited in 2016. Our plan is to improve the quality of cmr services in specific areas that will improve our efficiencies and in effectreduce our turnaround times. We have observed over the past few years a significant increase in requests for digital multi- media examinations. This demand continues to surge as more and more digital devices are used in criminal activities. This continual increase in digital evidence devices requires increased storage capacity and efficiency of di vital forensic networks.. The Northern Colorado Forensic Laboratory is seeking to purchase ,a digital evidence file server so we can securely store and sharedata among all the examiners in the unit. The lab is also seeking equipment to improve the quality and efficiency of its latent print services by the purchase of a high resolution digital image system. This system allows the capture of high resolution images in all light spectrums of untreated latent prints. It will also capture fumed. dye -stained and powdered latent prints without the needof taking multiple images to compensate for exposure and editing. The Northern Colorado Forensic Laboratory is seeking to purchase 'rimeCam Full Spectrum Imaging System. Lastly, with the influx ofsynthetic opioids the lab is seeking for a safer way to identify and test for these items as they come to the lab. Many of the agencies are now submit without presumptive testing on unknow powders. This laboratory serves a vital need [n the region, offering quality service in a timely fashion. It seeks to expand its quality. providing critical services to the region. Program Narrative TABLE OF CONTENTS: 2018 Cuverdell Program Narrative 1 Statement of the Problem. - page 2 2.

Collection of Performance Measures = page 15 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The Northern. Colorado Regional Forensic Laboratory (NCRFL),„ a regional forensic laboratory comprised of 5 law enforcement agencies within the Northern Colorado Region, combined personnel and resources to more effectively and efficiently serve the law enforcement agencies in Northern Colorado. In addition, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) provided additional laboratory staff, quality assurance staff off site (Technical lead for DNA, Quality manager, Evidence custodian), and a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The NCRFL was placed under the quality system of the CBI Forensic Sciences systemby. the Northern Region Lab Group (NR.I.00 board to work towards incorporating the various pieces of the quality system (purchasing, security, discipline specific OPs„ Quality Manual, evidence intake and storages, etc.) into its daily routines. This was critical in helping the regional lab to attain I O/IEC 17025:2005 accreditationunder the CHI forensic Services, to include accreditation of its Digital Multimedia Evidence unit. The NCRFL (and its earlier inceptions) has offered forensic science service to the region in various forms over the past 45 plus years, beginning with crime scene investigations, progressing forward with the additions of latent print examinations, drug analysis, trace analysis, shoe and tire track examinations, digital multimedia evidence (D E), fires and finally forensic biology. In the mid 2000's the local law enforcement agencies combined their talent and resources to create a single unified lab facility and attain accreditation. The first step was the creation of a region lab board, followed by the pooling of lab examiners by discipline into various facilities in the region. In 2013, the lab celebrated the completion of a lab facility to house all disciplines in Greeley Colorado. In 2015 its third goal was the partially completed with the assistance of CBI, that of accreditation in all but DIME and Forensic, DNA. 1n the spring of 2016, the two remaining areas were accredited. The CBI NCRFL is fully accredited in all disciplines housed within the facility. The next step in this ongoing process of continual improvement for the IsJCIRFL is to assure that best practices are applied as the lab seeks to improve on providing services that are more efficient. Recently the CBI began using Globalfiler TM and filer-plusTm andwill soon be applying T mixTM to the data generated. NIBIN and a unique program to quickly (72 hours or less) identify shell casings submitted to the lab has been enacted. These pro rams have been very successful and the fireaun section is staying on top of these submissions and other requests. At the same time., we have identified needs in three other sections that we believe are critical for improving the efficiencies and addressing the safety needs indrug testing of synthetic cpioids. The impression Evidence Section of the NCRFL provides latent fingerprint, footwear and tire track analysis to numerous law enforcement agencies across northern Colorada. The section processes items for impression evidence, documents impressions, and searches in state and federal databases to make identifications. The lab is encouraging the submission of more items that are portable and easily submitted from burglaries andother property crimes where at this moment they are being dusted and swabbed at the scene. We have added staff in latent prints so we can handle the increase, but believe that incorporating Full Spectrum Imaging System (FSIS) to the lab will increase the quality and efficiencies of the lab.. This system will also aid in providin.g a rapid examination of items for viable fingerprints and also for potential spot specific swabbing of the item for DNA testing. In the last year alone there have been several hir -profile burglaries and costly vandalism cases (in the $500.00 range). Having the capacity to quickly and effectively identify the perpetrators may have led to a faster identification of those involved and reduced the damage caused by many weeks of vandalism. Our process involves taking photographs of impressions developed in the lab with a digital camera on a camera stand. Often, numerous photographs are taken, until the analyst captures an image of desired quality. Those images., captured in the camera on a card.,thenhave to be transferred to a computer, to be processed in imaging software and stored in the Lab Object Repository. This system will digitally capture a high -resolution image in all ti ►t spectrums and display it in real time. The system can capture untreated latent prints at high resolution, and capturing fumed, dye -stained and powdered latent prints as well. Capturing in real time means that latent print examiners will not need to take multiple images.,. guessing at the correct exposure, then editing. and deleting images that are of inadequate quality, The image displayed on the screen of the FS1S will he the exact image captured and preserved. There is even a foot pedal for hands free image capture making the system very fast and efficient. Installation and one day of traininis also provided. The FSIS will save examiners time, thus helping reduce the backlog, and capture better quality images of latent prints resulting in more identifications. It may also allow us to capture latent prints without fuming or dye staining, resulting in more time and resource savings and helping to preserve biological or trace evidence. In. addition, there have been conceits with the processing of fingerprints on buggies where fentanyl and its derivatives have been identified. We believe that the Crime Cant FS1S may help alleviate some of the safety concerns associated %th removing the contents (Opioids) of the bag gie and handling the bag with residual powders. Due to the powerful effect of some fentanyl derivatives, even the residual powder on the bags can be dangerous if not lethal. The Digital Multimedia Section (DME) of the NCRFL supports numerous law enforcement agencies and Judicial Districts within the Northern Colorado area and continues to be in high demand. The DME section is responsible for extracting and processing digital data from a large variety of digital devices to include; cell phones. computers, DVRs and other digital media sources. A large volume of the requested services of the DME section pertain to cases involving either homicide or child scxu l exploitation. These cases typically contain numerous items of evidence and naturally require extensive amounts of time to adequately process. As the number. of digital devices has increased significantly over the years the demand for services has also significantly increase cause the DME section to find more efficient ways to process the increase volume of digital evidence. We have also observed over the past year an increase in requests to provide contact information (via GPS. cell phones and computers) associated with drug buys, specifically those related to Opioid overdose cases. The DME section utilizes a network based forensic file storage system in order to store data.. share licensed software, and to backup both in progress and completed casework. The server is a critical portion of the DME workflow/storage architecture as it provides connectivity between the workstations and allows the sharingof licensed software via license dungie server. The license dongie server reduces the number of license copies of forensic tools by sharing available licenses when they are available. As die examiners process the digital evidence they create a forensic image of the data that is stored on the file serer, This copy stored on the file server is done to ensure the integrity of the data and senses as a backup if the data becomes corrupted. A second copy of the data is also created and it is stored on the local workstations used by the examiners. This second copy is cotisKiered a working copy. AU processing'' examinations are done on the working copies of the data and this is done to ensure the original forensic copy is always available when the working copy becomes corrupted during the examination process.. The FREDc server we have selected has an integrated tape backup system and sufficient connectivity to provide access to all workstations within the D E section. The integrated tape backup system provides a redundant copy of all data stored on the server to include in progress cases and completed cases. The server has a storage capacity of 100 terabytes that would allow cases to be maintained on the server beyond our current maximum of 120 days for completed casework. This current lO=day limitation is done to ensure sufficient room is available new cases being worked by examiners. In addition to providing redundancy of the stored data the FREDc provides adequate connectivity to share resources such as the license software server and allows for leveraging multiple workstations for large cases between examiners and will reduce the case processing time. Many of the agencies that submit drugs and unknown powders to the lab no longer perform presumptive field tests prior to submission. Those who do are not always finding opioids as a possible drug of question. As a result, we are seeing more submissions of fentanyl derivatives in the lab on these unknown powders. Our analysts take the necessary precautions with these items of evidence and we have safety measures set up in case of exposure. We would like to add another layer of detection and protection to what we currently do and to create a means of quickly identifying these synthetic opioids so officers and the community can be alerted and safety measures taken more quickly. We are seeking therefore. a handheld Raman Spectroscopy device that would also us to quickly and safely identify the presence of such synthetic opioids. This device would be used by our chemists in-house to test possible unknown samples and identify these epinids as soon as possible. PROGRAM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION The Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Laboratory, having attained I O/lEC 17025:2005 accreditation, seeks to improve the quality of its services b►y providing the essential toolsto its staff The lab management understands that quality service is using best practices developed within a specific discipline. The expectation of the agencies submitting to the lab is that it will apply these best practices in its analyses. Additionally, the lab believes that by offering these services it can also help to reduce the backlog by offering better tools for screening and analysis, reducing the front-end processing time and optimizing the chance for the successful comparison to the perpetrator. The laboratory also works directly with the Weld County Accounting office so that all county purchasing rules will he followed. Full pectrum Imaging System (F 1 ): The lab is routinely seeking ways to provide best practices within its disciplines. This is a critical area of concern, especially in the non -biological science disciplines. With many of the violent type 1 crimes as well as burglariesand property crimes the question is often raised which method. is the best to try to provide the necessary information_ For example_ when processing a ,..n, the knurled surface is not useful for latent prints while the hard surfaces prove to be a better medium for prints. However, the surfaces on other kinds of evidence offer greater challenges in identifying the best options for processing. Having a screening tool would help to clarify the best choice and would also help to expedite the processing of the evidence. At the same time, the process of image documentation can be optimized with this device, saving time in the processing of images used for fingerprint comparison. The better the image the easier to make comparisons and it is expected that this device will expedite the image collection steps. Clearer images lead to easier comparisons. verifications and review thus increasing the productivity of the examiners. The lab plans to purchase the equipment bring it on line within I month of purchase and train its ex s s 'ners in the use of the equipment. Forensic File Server (FREDe) The lab also seeks ways to ensure digital evidence can be processed in an efficient manner while ensuring the integrity of the digital evidence files. The lab currently utilized a forensic file sen'er to store data and casework product, but the system is due for replacement as the technology with the systems continues to improve. The F EDc server has 100 terabytes of storage allowing data to be maintained longer and readily available for use if follow up requests are made by the submitting agencies. The system is also equipped with tape backup system in the event of a catastrophe failure. The file server is an integral part of the DME case processing architecture is remains as the best solution to maintain data will be worked and for long term storage. Handheld Raman Spectroscopy Device We have had many deaths in the Northern Colorado region associated with lentanl derivatives and drug overdoses. A Handheld Raman Spectroscopy Device (HRSD) will allow our chemists to identify the contents of baggies without opening adding a measure of saki y. We envision as well being able to have something put in place at the submission counter as ell that would allow with the correct packaging an examination with the HRSD to identifyopioids and to then alert agencies, of their possible (presumptive test). CAPABILITIES/COMPETENCIES This funding is part of an overall process to increase efficiencies and improve the quality of the services of this forensic laboratory. The members of the NRLG have signed two IGAs As (2008 and 2012) to reflect its commitment to this regional lab, The CBI has made a major investment in personnels LIMS, equipment, and worked to incorporate the NCRFL into its quality system. A . a result, all disciplines within the NC.RFL are I O/1EC 17025:2005 accredited and the lab will continue to maintain this level of quality work. All items of equipment purchased with these funds will be brought into the lab following the required validation/verification procedures as defined in the labs ;SOPs. Resumes have been attached to the application to indicate the qualifications of the examiners involved as well as the resumes of the tab directors and managers. Two of the four DME computer forensic analysts are IACiS certified. This is an international certification that is recognized as one of its most valued certifications. It requires 2 weeks of trainin, and over 6 months of competency testing, to achieve this certification, In addition, the technical lead of the section has been actively involved in both OSAC and SWEDE. The DME technical lead was critical in our lab being accredited and he is also assisting in the training of other DME analysts across the county in obtaining IS /IEC 17025:2005 accreditation. We have 4 analysts in the latent print section that are IA' certified latent print examiners. Combined we have over 50 years of experience in latent print examinations, one with over 20 years in latent prints, footwear and crime scene experience. Our newest fingerprint examiner is now qualified to process evidence and this will help in reducing our backlog. However, we are anticipating an increase in latent print requests in 2019 and so are looking at added methods and equipment to help address those additional submissions. At present we have two chemists in the lab that are able to handle the drug submissions coming from the 5 agencies. Our concern is the safety of our analysts as well as being able to quickly :inform the community of the presence of opioids. Finally. Weld County's accounting department has been actively involved in the process of implementing, processing, and paying. out grants as well as tracing the funds. The department has set up a system of account coding that will assure that the funds used in the grant are tracked. The county also has a defined set of rules regarding the purchase of equipment that require bids and a review of quotes over $5000 to obtain the necessary equipment at a competitive cost. IMPACT/OUTCOMES D EVALUATIONS The concept of this regional laboratory is over. 10 years old. In 2008 parts of the plan were implemented: Four tabs, four sites (one per discipline) andtwo cites were created. There was no adequate LIMS and the lab was not accredited. Fast forward to 2018 and the lab is now located in one building with 5 major disciplines being accredited: Drug chemistry, biology. Firearmsitoolmarks., Latent Prints and Digital Multimedia, The lab is under the CBI's quality system and uses the BI's TAMS to ensure compliance to the ISO/WC 17025:2005 standards. The e tab works continuously to maintain the standards as defined in ISO;/TEC 17025:2005 and will comply with the ANAB 170 25 requirements as they are roiled out the lab We have seen a significant increase m case submissions and local agencies using the lab for its services, especially in its requests for digital examinations. The failure of the current file server will have an enormous impact on case productivity. The server allows for a collaborative approach to large eases and the storage of the evidence files: This failure will cause a significant backlog in casework while also directly impacting the arrest and apprehension of criminal within the community. Ultimately the impact in the community will be huge. By efficiently processing digital evidence cases we can more quickly identify and eliminate persons of interest while providing significant savings to the submitting agency. We had a case that was solved in 48 hours including the arrest of the suspect that involved DME, latent prints and firearms. Because of clear andquick communication with the local agency a person was identified in 12 hours. Testing was done in those areas immediately and within. 48 hours an arrest was made. Later in the yew- the suspect pled guilty and many of the investigators were freed up to work other cases. We see this occurring more frequently resulting in a significant savings for the agencies supporting the regional lab. As noted in the budget narrative and outlined below we have looked at the impact gained within the lab by obtaining the equipment and putting the equipment on line. DME case work: 2047 We average 874 hours per month per analyst week of analyst time spent in the lab. We have seen a 5 hour per week increase in bench time over the past 4 years. We have seen the average number of submissions increase in that time from 2.3 to 3.6 eases submitted per analyst per month. We completed 3.1 cases per analyst per month. That number has decreased per analyst per month,. from 4.0 cases per analyst per month, 4 years agog This is due to the complexity of the cases and challenges brought on by cell phone upgrades. Without the FREDc server to storage and share data we anticipate that our case completion per analyst per month to drop to below 3.0 most likely to a rate of 2.8 cases per analyst per month. This number would take us from the current 141 cases completed per year to 127 eases. In 2017 we had 164 DME submissions. We cannot keep up with our current submission rates and reducing the access to a server will affect our backlog even more. Latent Print case work: 2017 We average 58.9 hours per analyst per month. The number of hours on the bench has increased 2 -fold from 4 years ago. We anticipate this number to increase as we now havea fly trained latent print staff working cases. in 2017 we processed 9.2 2 cases per analyst per month. This number has been constant over the past 4 years, al though we anticipate it will go up slightly in 2018. We currently have the staff to keep our backlog below 30 days. However, we anticipate two factors will change the current submission rates. In the recent months we have seen an increase in requests for fingerprinting of baggies on drug possession cases and anticipate those requests will increase in 2018. in addition. a policy shift in property crimes will also affect the submissions of fingerprints. We anticipate there will be an increase insubmission to the level observed in 2014 (1 1, 5 cases submitted per analyst per year). The lab anticipates that with the addition of the equipment and training it will see a definite improvement in services. This equipment will provide the lab staff with opportunity to use best practices and methods in the performance of their duties and it is expected. that more data will be made available for examination. Grant fading will provide for an increase in latent prints processing. stability in dealing with electronic data. and a safer environment for processing drug cases evidence. Having this equipment will also improve the timeliness of response for specific high profile, public safety cases in the community. Often the backlog has to step aside for a public safety need and it is this type of equipment that will allow this process to occur more quickly. The more effective and efficient those eases are moved throughthe system the sooner the analysts can get back to the routine requests the lab receives each week. OTHER T'E I VIOLENT CRIMES DATA: Submissions Backlog End of cal.end_ar year Year Type 1 crimes 2012 1263 891 305 201.3 August (new lab opened 12) X 240 1753 791 2914 1242 1417 613 I 2015 1212 1663 1066 2016 1267 1462 886 20.17 Anticipated 1280 1606 Anticipated 581 2018 Anticipated 1300 Anticipated 1700 Anticipated 500 It has taken. 2 years to stabilize the submission rate in the new lab facility, in part due to agencies reco in g the facility and. ease of submission to here from this region versus transporting to Denver. Also, the change in state statute regarding mandatory submission of sexual assault kits affected submissions. The number of type 1 crimes in the region has been very constant and a major shift in that is not expected. The submission of all sexual assault kits, which are tied to type 1 crimes appears to have added an additional 200 cases (approximate) to the lab,.. GOALS, OBJECTIVES. AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES The goal off_ this project, and where we seek the award funding, is to improve the quality of service offered by the lab to its clients. Additionally, we believe that we will also see a reduction in the time needed to process each item of evidence thus reducing our backlog. The objectives to meet this goal will be to obtain laboratory equipment for Digital Multimedia Evidence, Latent Prints and Drug chemistry_ Objective One: Obtain updated quotes fir. Full Spectrum Imaging System, FREDc, and a Handheld. Raman Spectroscopy Device. Purchase the items, validate each as per or OP's, bring online them online in the lab.
