(Harrisburg, PA) A rapid DNA program with fifteen fully automated genetic analyzers going to troops across Pennsylvania has started, according to an announcement from the Pennsylvania State Police. The recent announcement comes after the Monaca Police Department used this tool to identify the man who robbed the Monaca Market in April. This technology is now secured in Beaver County thanks to a grant from the budget proposal of Governor Josh Shapiro.
