Any adult or juvenile arrested or charged with a felony violation in the state of Kansas are required by law to submit a DNA sample to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (K.S.A. 21-2511). The law also includes 7 misdemeanor offenses and all persons registering as an offender in Kansas. At the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the submitted offender DNA is processed and imported into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) to search for investigative leads to unsolved cases. This training will cover the offender DNA collection steps including the use of the STACS DNA remote collection module for data entry at the collection agencies. The remote collection module has several benefits such as checking if a violation qualifies for submission and determining if an offender has previously submitted DNA.Wednesday, November 19, 2025, Parsons KLETC Regional Site Wednesday, November 19, 2025, Parsons KLETC Regional Site Thursday, February 19, 2026, Zoom Facilitated Sessions Monday, April 6, 2026, Zoom Facilitated Sessions
