DNA: From Cheek to Court

What happens to DNA once it is removed from a suspect’s cheek?

The film From Cheek to Court describes the journey DNA takes from when it is removed from a suspect’s cheek in the custody suite at a police station, to being a profile on the National DNA Database and then how DNA can be used in criminal trial proceedings.
