Rapid DNA testing technology has been rolled out at the Saline County jail, and Faulkner County has been identified as the next location for the technology.
Saline County rollout
The technology is now part of the Saline County jail’s operations. Rapid DNA testing is designed to produce DNA test results more quickly than traditional testing, but the specific use described in the announcement is limited to the rollout at the jail.
Faulkner County next
Faulkner County is next in the expansion. The announcement identifies the county as the next location where the technology will be introduced, connecting the development to local jail and law-enforcement operations there.
What the change means
The rollout marks an expansion of rapid DNA testing from one Arkansas county jail to another. Saline County is the first location identified in the development, while Faulkner County is the next.
The technology’s arrival in Faulkner County will be the next step in that expansion. The timing and operating details for the Faulkner County rollout have not been announced.
