Chiefs of police are expressing support for a private Senate bill that will see the expansion of DNA sampling in scope to include people convicted of non-violent crimes such as drunk driving.
In a written submission to the Senate legal and constitutional affairs committee on Feb. 3, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) said it “welcomes the opportunity” to endorse Bill S-231, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Criminal Records Act, the National Defence Act and the DNA Identification Act.
