a) The Police Service advise that Question 2343 related to DNA samples collected from a defined group of persons and this information could be readily extracted. Crime scene exhibits such as those from burglary offences are recorded on the Frontline Incident Management System (IMS) or Property Tracing System. The functionality to extract the type of date sought in the question is being incorporated into the next major enhancement to Frontline (IMS) which is scheduled to be rolled out early next year. Importantly, since the inception of the DNA database in July 2002 there have been 758 DNA database matches to burglary (dwelling) offences and 518 DNA database matches to burglary (non dwelling) offences.
