    We had 100 different entries in the Laboratory’s Professional Development Log for the month of September. These training entries primarily represent webinar presentations. The Laboratory had JAG Grant funding for training in Fiscal Year 2019, and was able to send a variety of Laboratory personnel to different quality training venues.  The Crime Laboratory has 29 positions allotted to it; we currently have 25 current employees and four vacancies.  Of Lab’s 25 current employees, 15 are licensed Forensic Analysts by the State of Texas, and 3 are Latent Print Examiners certified in Latent Print Examination by the International Association of Identification (IAI).  All 4 vacancies will need to be filled with licensed Forensic Analysts.  In order to maintain statutorily required Continuing Forensic Education (CFE) for Licensed Analysts, and required training for the Certified Latent Print Examiners, the Laboratory’s Training Budget must be increased.  The Lab's current training budget is inadequate. Currently the Laboratory’s total training budget is $9,300.00.  Based on the historical Cost per Credit Hour for training for Laboratory personnel, I have requested that the Budget/Finance Unit increase the Lab’s training budget by $29,622.40.   It should be noted that due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Crime Laboratory has had had several training events canceled or rescheduled.

    On August 26, 2020, the City issued a PO for the purchase of a new LCMS instrument that will permit the Crime Laboratory to conduct THC quantification testing.  The LCMS instrument was delivered to the Crime Laboratory in three different containers; the last container was received on Thursday, September 24, 2020.  The Crime Laboratory will have to pass an ANAB Assessment, and have quantification testing added to our Scope of Accreditation, prior to being able to conduct quantification casework.  The Crime Laboratory has reviewed the original Qiacube validation reports and it was determined that further evaluation was required.  Qiagen personnel respond to the Crime Laboratory multiple times in July to perform additional testing and to complete repairs on the Qiacubes, and the EZ1 instrument.  The Biology Unit reviewed the new validation report, and after discussions with Qiagen personnel everyone agrees that additional work is necessary. The Crime Laboratory’s two current FTIR instruments are so old that their manufacturer has advised us that they will not provide service to those instruments after the current calendar year.  On August 12, 2020 Assistant Police Director Christianne Kellett advised the Crime Laboratory that she had located funding to procure two new FTIR instruments.

    The Crime Laboratory has acquired three new Qiacubes.  Currently Biology Unit personnel manually conduct DNA extractions.  The Qiacubes will be used to conduct automated DNA extractions.  The Qiacubes will be utilized in the processing of sexual assault evidence that has been evaluated both by traditional serological screening and Y-screening. The Crime Laboratory just acquired a new LCMS system.  This system will be used to quantify THC.  We will have to pass an ANAB Assessment, and have quantification testing added to our Scope of Accreditation, prior to beginning quantification casework.  We anticipate that it will be between March 2021 and June 2021 before we will be able to bring THC quantification testing online.  The Texas Forensic Science Commission has established a Working Group on STRMIX (including a committee focused on validation).  The Crime Laboratory has decided to postpone our validation of STRMIX until the Texas Forensic Science Commission has completed their work.  The Crime Laboratory reallocated funding that was originally designated for STRMIX validation to DNA outsourcing.

    Texas SB1325 took effect when it was signed by Governor Abbott on June 10, 2019, and legalizes hemp in the State of Texas.  Marijuana and hemp are both Cannabis sativa L plants containing Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.  The difference between the two is the quantity of Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol present.  The Crime Laboratory needs new equipment in order to be able to quantify THC in evidentiary items.  A PO was issued on August 26, 2020 to procure a new LCMS system. The last component of the LCMS was received on Thursday, September 24, 2020.  We anticipate that it will be between March 2021 and June 2021 before we will be able to bring THC quantification testing online.  If the Chemistry Unit gets a new LCMS system and an additional chemist, the Crime Laboratory could begin to insource THC quantification cases.  This could be a good opportunity for insourcing THC cases from smaller agencies, since we may be the first government laboratory in the area with the ability to conduct THC quantification testing.  The Chemistry Unit would have to acquire additional personnel in order to insource THC testing, or the Unit’s turnaround time and backlog would increase.  COVID-19 has had a deleterious effect on the City’s budget; I do not foresee funding for an additional chemist position.
