snippedPolicy: Every offender committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections (DOC) for a qualifying offense must provide a DNA sample as ordered by DOC staff and required by law, unless it is verified the offender previously provided a sufficient sample and the sample and identifying information is documented in the state’s Combined DNA Index System.

Good find!
Next question: what's "qualifying offense" mean? He was in prison for assaulting an officer. Would that crime qualify?
If LE were looking at DNA databases for one type of case, say murder or SA, would they look at DNA of criminals of those crimes only, or any and all DNA even from people convicted of assault? Or would they not look at completely different crimes because there would unlikely be a match? idk
