offense, the contributing agency should attempt to reconstruct the information
surrounding the original, underlying offense and submit the reconstructed arrest card
in lieu of the sex offender registration card.
DNA Sample Transmittal
Law enforcement agencies that are required to collect and submit DNA samples to
the Milwaukee State Crime Laboratory are asked to contribute a complete ten print
fingerprint card of the individual. This procedure ensures all DNA registrants within
the state database will also be recorded at the Crime Information Bureau.
The fingerprint card should include the rolled images of all ten fingers, as well as the
plain impressions. Additional required data includes:
1. THE NAME OF THE REGISTRANT
2. THE STATE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
3. THE MONTH, DAY AND YEAR OF BIRTH
4. SEX/RACE
5. HEIGHT/WEIGHT
6. EYE AND HAIR COLOR
7. THE DATE OF THE REGISTRATION (RECORD IN THE DATE OF
ARREST BLOCK)
8. THE CONTRIBUTING AGENCY
9. THE PLACE AND COUNTRY OF CITIZENSHIP
Finally, the contributor should record “DNA Registration” within the charge field.
For questions relating to this procedure, please contact Mike Camp, Director,
Milwaukee State Crime Laboratory at (414) 382-7500, email
campmj@doj.state.wi.us; or Curt Bauer, AFIS Operations Manager, Crime
Information Bureau at (608) 266-7598, email bauercj@doj.state.wi.us.
Additional DNA Guidelines
The Wisconsin Department of Justice, State Crime Laboratory-Milwaukee is making
a special request to all sheriffs’ offices that collect DNA samples from convicted
felons. At issue are the savings to be realized by decreasing the number of duplicate
samples taken from the one person.
Under current DNA collection procedures, you are asked to make a search of the
CIB criminal history records for a person before taking a DNA sample. Any person
whose DNA sample has already been taken will have a flag at the top of their
criminal record stating that a DNA sample has been taken. If this message exists, a
second DNA sample is not required. This procedure alone has reduced the number
of duplicate samples significantly.
An analysis of duplicate samples that are still being received has shown an area
where additional savings can be made. This analysis revealed that a person would be
sampled by a sheriff’s office and then resampled at a correctional institution within a
1-7 days. Since the sheriff’s sample has to arrive at the lab by US mail and then be
entered into the criminal history record, the second sample is being taken before the
criminal history record can be flagged.
