Police allow private companies access to national DNA database

Concerned of Halton Moor | 30.07.2008 09:56

The National Police Improvement Agency has defended allowing companies access to the national DNA database.

"After approval by the National DNA Database Strategy Board, they were made available for authorised research purposes demonstrating clear potential operational benefit to the police in terms of detecting and solving crime. These profiles are completely anonymous and are not identifiable in any way."
