| Abstract: |
|
| A national DNA databank was launched at the Israel Police Headquarters in February 2007 in a major impetus to combat crime. Profiles of over 14,000 suspects have so far been entered and plans are in place to collect DNA samples from several thousand convicted prisoners. The establishment of the Police DNA Database was made possible by the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) passing the Databank Law in September 2005 with the Databank Regulations coming into effect as of 1.2.2007. |
