Educating policy makers and the public on the importance of Forensic DNA and DNA technology in the criminal justice system.

After surviving a devastating assault, fled Arizona for California to escape her attacker.
She never saw his face.
Little did she know… she had moved to the exact same city where he lived.
Years later, a DNA match from an unrelated California felony arrest finally brought justice through CODIS. Right now, only 19 states collect DNA upon arrest for all felonies.
Every single state needs to follow suit — no more loopholes.
No more preventable victims. No more survivors living in fear.
This is how we close the gap and protect families.

Only 19 states collect DNA for felony arrests. This gap lets repeat offenders slip through the cracks and terrorize our communities.
We must expand DNA collection at felony arrest. Join us at to discuss this and more!

Collecting DNA at the time of felony arrest isn’t just about catching criminals — it gives justice to victims’ families, stops future violence, and protects innocent people from wrongful conviction. 19 states do this. We need this in every single state. Sensitive content: Discusses serious crimes like murder & r**e in advocacy context.

Impactful moments in Des Moine for the fight for justice! Grateful to Iowa AG for championing Katie’s Law and inviting us onto The Simon Conway Show. Together we’re pushing to collect DNA at arrest for felonies/aggravated misdemeanors—saving lives, solving cold cases, exonerating innocent and protecting victims. Iowa is moving forward, let’s keep the momentum!

BILLS TO WATCH that we’re supporting right now that expand DNA collection from felony arrests:

• Georgia: SB 29 (Sen. Williams)
• Missouri: SB 1458 (Sen. Shroer) & HB 2868 (Rep. Parker) –
• Iowa: HSB 571 (requested by AG Bird)
• Kentucky: HB 414 (Rep )
• Pennsylvania: SB 912 (
• Tennessee: HB 473 – ( Rep. Crawford)
• West Virginia: SB 13 (Sen. Oliverio)

Out advocating with heart and soul for arrestee DNA laws that actually help solve crimes, stop repeat offenders, protect our communities, protect privacy, exonerate innocent people, save money, and give victims the answers they deserve. Just got back from Georgia, heading to Iowa next week, then Missouri the week after, and Kentucky right behind that.

Grateful beyond WORDS for the lawmakers and advocates on this journey, the people believing in justice and making it a reality. Special shoutout to Arnold Ventures for stepping up with support and amplifying these efforts to make communities safer.

We’ll keep you posted and if you’re in any of these states, reach out to your legislators and tell them to support! We need all hands on deck.
