The New York State DNA Databank is a computerized collection of DNA descriptions or “profiles” derived from DNA samples of convicted offenders required by law to provide a sample; from crime scenes; from missing persons or the relatives of missing persons, and from offenders who voluntarily provide a sample in connection with a plea bargain, participation in a Department of Correctional Services temporary release program, or release on parole or probation. These profiles are maintained in the convicted offender index, the forensic index, the missing persons index, and the subject index, respectively. The DNA Databank is maintained at the New York State Police Forensic Investigation Center in Albany.
