By Bente Birkeland Verified| The Colorado Sun Verified The Colorado Bureau of Investigation has sent nearly a third of its backlogged sexual assault evidence kits to outside labs for testing, as it tries to bring turn-around times back within state guidelines. This story was produced as part of the Colorado Capitol News Alliance. It first appeared at cpr.org. The legislature gave the bureau $3 million to outsource examination of one thousand kits because right now the state doesn’t have enough DNA scientists trained to process evidence more quickly.

Company Info
Colorado Public Radio
Colorado Public Radio (CPR) is a non-profit, member-supported public radio network that has been serving Colorado since 1951. It began with KRCC and evolved into its current form in 1991 after merging with KPRN. CPR operates three main services: a news division that provides statewide coverage, a classical music service featuring local artists, and a platform for independent music that highlights both local and national indie musicians. CPR's network includes full-power stations and low-power translators, reaching 90% of Colorado's population. The organization is primarily funded through private donations, business sponsorships, and foundations, with a significant portion of its revenue coming from these sources. CPR is part of a larger public radio network and aims to offer free access to news and cultural programming, focusing on local relevance and public service. Its digital presence includes popular news websites that provide articles, podcasts, and cultural content.
