Renewed bid for central DNA database
The Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) is maintaining its push for a law that would require DNA samples collected from criminal suspects to be stored on a central database.
A central database system would aid investigations targeting criminal suspects in security cases and serious crimes, it says.
The Genetic Data Bill, a legal mechanism necessary for a plan to establish a national DNA centre, has already gone through public hearings, CIFS director Songsak Raksaksakul said on Tuesday.
