U.S., FBI Hoovering Up DNA at a Pace That Rivals China, Holds 21 Million Samples and Counting
The FBI wants to double its budget for cataloging “the rapidly increasing number of DNA samples collected by the U.S.”
In an April 2023 statement submitted to the U.S. Congress to explain the budget request, FBI Director Christopher Wray cited several factors that had “significantly expanded the DNA processing requirements of the FBI.” He said the FBI collected around 90,000 samples a month — “over 10 times the historical sample volume” — and expected that number to swell to about 120,000 a month, totaling about 1.5 million new DNA samples a year. The FBI declined to comment.
