Breaking the cycle of crime:
ANDE is changing the paradigm in law enforcement
ANDE is a force multiplier:
Rapid DNA is defined by the FBI as "A term used to describe the fully automated (hands free) process of developing a DNA profile from a reference sample buccal (cheek) swab without human intervention." Moving DNA from the lab to the field enables law enforcement to identify individuals at the speed of their investigation. ANDE is being deployed broadly in two public safety areas: Investigative operations and booking facilities/other corrections centers.
“ANDE gives us the ability to solve crimes quickly, to rule out the innocent, and to identify and to pursue that bad guy with all of our resources.”
— Ed Davis, former Boston Police Commissioner
