Forensic Genetic Genealogy & A Law-Enforcement Function. From rapid Y-STR intelligence and AI-assisted cold-case triage to agency-wide FGG implementation and continuing fractional support, Genetic Genealogy for Law Enforcement helps agencies reduce preventable costs, maintain investigative control, and conduct work that can withstand scrutiny.
Led by Christine Burke, a retired police detective and sergeant, forensic genetic genealogist, law-enforcement instructor, investigator, and court-qualified police-practices expert.
Forensic genetic genealogy is an investigative function — not just a lab service. Laboratories, genealogists, investigators, prosecutors, and agencies each play a different role. Testing and genealogy work can be outsourced, but the responsible agency remains accountable for case selection, legal and ethical compliance, vendor oversight, investigative decisions, documentation, corroboration, disclosure, and courtroom defensibility.
