J.B. VAN HOLLEN
ATTORNEY GENERAL
DOJ Acquires 31 New DNA Analysts
This is the time of year when we often look back and reflect on our
accomplishments and our blessings.
One of the
accomplishments of which we can all be proud is the addition of 31 new DNA
positions in our Crime Laboratory System. With the support of law
enforcement organizations and officers throughout the state, the legislature and
Governor approved my request for 31 new positions. Those positions have
been filled and the new analysts are currently in training. By June 2008,
they will have the expertise necessary to do case work and provide expert
testimony in your cases.
In
Wisconsin, one of the blessings we enjoy is the strong, professional working
relationship that exists in our law enforcement community. Acquiring the
DNA analysts is just one example of the good that results from such a
relationship. I am proud and honored to be a part of such a profession and
I look forward to continuing that strong partnership in 2008.
I wish
each of you and your families a Happy Holiday Season and a safe New Year.
