Outstanding DNA positive samples from 2020/21 to 2022/23

 

I note you seek access to the following information:

 

1. How many outstanding DNA positive samples does the Met Police currently have within the last three years? 

 

2. How many samples samples do you have with a name attached? 

 

3. How many samples do you have with no name attached? 

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full. 

 

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

 

Please note that this is raw data as shown from the system, with this many case files/crimes it is not possible to look at the detail of the investigative value of any match or why the investigation is not concluded – there are a number of reasons why a match may or may not be useful to an investigation, and why an investigation may not be concluded.
