SCIENCE IMPROVEMENT GRANTS PROGRAM-FORMULA
PART II. PROGRAM NARRATIVE
A. THE PROBLEM
The current problem affecting Hawaii Police Department(HiPD) Crime Lab services is
data management. The HiPD Records Management System discreetly documents Crime
Lab work requests, assignment and completion. The HiPD Information Technology(IT)
section now provides a list of cases assigned and closed for each month at the end of each
month, it cannot provide a list of pending back log 30/60/90 day cases or average amount
of days between assignment and completion.
The forensic drug labs in Hawaii are discussing uniform standardized reporting of
statistical data as required for federal grants. Part of that discussion relates to the period
of time the statistical data(average amount of days between evidence received and
•completion of case)represents. The other forensic drug labs have LIMS and can easily
retrieve the data for any given amount of time.
HiPD Crime Lab can provide the requested data but will require much more effort to
manually extract and analyze the information needed to provide a standardized report.
Currently, HiPD Crime Lab provides the average amount of days between evidence
received and completion of case for a one-week period at the beginning of a grant period,
and end of grant period. To give a more accurate measurement of average days between
evidence received and completion of case.the other forensic drug labs provide a 6-month
period prior to the beginning of a grant period and at the end of the grant period. This
would take too much time to extract and analyze for HiPD Crime Lab.
A LIMS for HiPD Crime Lab will greatly improve productivity and standardized
information sharing. In addition to daily casework assignments. LIMS provide data
management for policies, procedures,accreditation standards; laboratory forms.chemical
orders and inventory, verification and validation studies,daily/monthly/annual
performance verifications, audits,and more. Documents are currently stored and
retrieved manually from hardcopy files and some electronic files. Efficient access to
archived documents is necessary for court purposes. Casework that goes to trial requires
documents relevant to that particular time in which the results were obtained. Requested
documents include procedures in place at that time,quality assurance checks of
instrumentation, and other laboratory documents. Keeping track of archived and updated
procedures and forms is becoming more difficult with document management control and
accreditation requirements.
Maintaining and managing evolving recommended practices and international standards
requires annual internal reviews and a large amount of records and document
management. At the time of HiPD Crime Lab accreditation in early 2017,the standards
in place were ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ASCLD/LAB Supplemental requirements.
ASCLD/LAB merged with ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) in late 2017.
AGICPJAD#1(b) (Rev 10/2018)
There have been several transitions and updates to the accreditation standards and
supplemental requirements since then. The Crime Lab must be compliant with the
ISO/IEC 17025:2017,and ANAB Supplemental requirements before the 2020
accreditation on-site renewal assessment. All updates and changes must be documented,
archived, and accessible.
HPD Crime Lab is a very small lab with three full time Criminalist positions, and two
Evidence Specialists positions. With the loss of one, and retirement of the other
Criminalist Its,and hiring of a Criminalist I position replacement, it is important that the
Crime Lab procure specialized training for personnel. Maintaining and updating
Evidence Specialists knowledge and training is also important to provide quality forensic
services. Mainland training opportunities that are available within this grant period may
include: a Regional IAI—International Association of Identification Annual Joint
Conference; AAFS—American Academy of Forensic Sciences Annual Conference;
CLIC—Clandestine Laboratory Investigating Chemists Annual Technical Conference;
ANAB —ANSI National Accreditation Board Internal Auditor Accreditation training, etc.
A small general budget exists for Area I Operations Criminal Investigations, under which
HPD Crime Lab operates. Training funds for Crime Lab personnel is very limited.
B. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Goal l: To improve productivity and standardize information sharing through
updating Crime Lab data management.
• Objective 1: Successfully purchase and implement a LIMS by end of grant
period.
• Objective 2: Increase ability to share files and improve timeliness of case
turnaround by uploading 50 shared documents to the LIMS system.
Goal 2: To procure professional development training for all lab personnel.
• Objective 3: Increase the knowledge of up to 3 lab staff members specific to
crime scene, forensic drug analysis, and or accreditation relevant topics by end of
grant period
C. PROJECT ACTIVITIES
> Procurement of the LIMS system within the first quarter(May -July 2020).
Purchase LIMS by August 2020.
• Install LIMS by September 2020.
> Complete training on LIMS by October/November 2020.
✓ Upload all documents to the LIMS system by November/December 2020. Document
examples include shared documents, case files, procedure manuals,SOP,quality
assurance manual, proficiency check. training manuals,quality control,annual certificates of
maintenance,and corrective actions.
> Generate LIMS monthly statistics reports beginning January 2021.
> Personnel to attend(3)mainland training conferences or workshops to include crime
scene, accreditation, or drug analysis relevant training that becomes available within
this grant period. Exact dates of trainings are unknown at this time but will be
completed by April 30, 2021.

Government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available
remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
