CALLING CARD  Wednesday, October 8, 2008

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is breaking ground in new ways to collect DNA evidence. Officers started using Trigger ID kits recently to preserve potential DNA evidence from handguns found at the scene of a crime. Before packing the weapon into an evidence bag, police use a pocket-sized kit to swab the pistol grip, barrel and magazine. Law officials are hoping DNA testing from these swabs will lead to more prosecutions in gun-related crimes.
