Findings and policy implications. More than half the states and the federal government have passed laws authorizing arrestee DNA collection. Laboratories assumed responsibility for implementing arrestee laws and often responded in creative and innovative ways. Collecting DNA at arrest increases the number of profiles in DNA databases. Arrestee DNA laws increase hits to forensic profiles, but to an unknown degree. Safeguards and compliance monitoring represent important aspects of implementation. Looking ahead to the future of arrestee DNA laws.
