A new report shows the state Justice Department's crime labs processed DNA test results considerably faster in 2022 despite receiving hundreds more cases.
Turnaround times for toxicology testing, which determines blood-alcohol content in drunken drivers and the presence of drugs in a person’s system, slowed dramatically, however. For the first time in three years, the labs failed to finish work on more cases than it took on during the calendar year and average turnaround times nearly doubled.
Justice Department officials said they’ve purchased new instruments for the toxicology section to help detect synthetic drugs.
