Subject: 11-22-20 long-term savings to law-enforcement agencies from increased DNA-registration
November 22, 2020
Dear President-Elect Joe Biden,
After your truly great inauguration on January 20, 2021, I am very hopeful that you will please consider recommending to the U.S. Congress that the United States embark on a nationwide crime-deterrence strategy involving mandatory participation by as many American citizens as possible.
It will truly be a life-saver for millions of crime victims in this nation, and to millions of Americans who are held hostage or kidnapped, if the U.S. Congress under your leadership can approve an official nationwide goal of striving to achieve 100 percent enrollment by all American citizens, and by all foreign-citizens residing in the United States, in a nationwide DNA-registration program.
Once the 100 percent-participation goal is met, this can dramatically reduce the total amount of personnel time and expenses that law-enforcement agencies in the U.S. and other nations spend or incur toward attempting to solve sexual-assault cases, domestic-violence cases, homicides, attempted homicides, home-invasion crimes, burglaries, kidnappings, hostage-takings, paternity-identification cases, and other cases for which DNA matches are needed or helpful.
President-Elect Biden, I am very hopeful that a significant long-term savings to law-enforcement agencies and to government at all levels can occur even if only a 5 percent nationwide increase per year is achieved in the percentage of all Americans and all residents or long-term visitors to the U.S. whose personal and unique DNA is registered with the U.S. Government.
Among the advantages to this proposed strengthening of our nation's reliance on DNA registration as a tool in investigation of crime cases:
---It can help significantly reduce the number of detentions or arrests of the wrong suspects in personal-injury-crime cases.
--It can help reduce the number of interactions between law-enforcement agencies and private citizens in which a violent conflict occurs.
---It can help to increase the percentage of criminal-law cases in which a defendant pleads guilty.
---It can help to reduce backlog in our nation's court system by speeding up prosecution of criminal-law cases in a courtroom and of civil-law court cases for which paternity-identification might be cited as pertinent evidence.
---It can help to significantly reduce the percentage of all criminal-law court cases resulting in conviction of a defendant that are later retried or overturned by a higher court.
---It can help to reduce total time needed for reuniting parents with biological children of theirs who had been kidnapped or illegally held hostage by others.
President-Elect Biden, I need to emphasize that I myself have pursued only minimal online research this weekend before sharing with you this very tentative recommendation. I am currently employed exclusively in three different first-rate corporate-owned chain restaurants in Austin; during my leisuretime, I pursue crime-deterrence brainstorming as a hobby of mine.
One of the local statistics in the state-capital city where I reside that I myself would like to obtain, if possible:
What percentage of all Austin residents---or what percentage of all citizens of foreign nations who currently reside in Austin, Texas---currently have their personal DNA registered with a law-enforcement agency of the federal government, the Austin Police Department, Travis County Sheriff's Office, or the Williamson County Sheriff's Office? I mention Williamson County partly because a significant portion of Austin's territory lies in Williamson County, though from what I understand the Austin Police Department has full legal authority and jurisdiction over all of that territory of Austin that lies in Williamson County.
President-Elect Biden, I also recommend to you that the U.S. Government consider requiring that any and all American Indians residing in tribal-governed territories must each be required to have their personal and unique DNA registered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Department of Homeland Security as well as the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. That DNA-registration program will help professional law-enforcement agencies to more quickly solve home-invasion-crime cases, personal-injury-crime cases, or sex-crime cases in which the perpetrator (or, in other types of cases, the victim) is an American Indian and the crime victim is NOT an American Indian (or, alternatively, in which the crime victim is an American Indian).
I need to point out that this DNA-registration issue offers yet another reminder of the very substandard job performance by Mr. Trump in The White House. I myself do not recall Mr. Trump ever at any time promulgating to the American people the current percentage of all current American citizens whose DNA is currently registered with the federal government, and what the long-term trend is on those nationwide DNA-registration participation levels, including on a state-by-state basis.
President-Elect Biden, I hope that this very tentative brainstorming letter will prove to be helpful to you as you strive to identify public-policy strategies for improving the level of cost-effectiveness and accuracy and reliability and safety record of our nation's crime-investigations and criminal-law prosecutions.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,

I am also the founder and only current approved member of a new and implicitly-deistic non-atheistic "Honor Society" religion, the pragmatically-idealistic "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", that seeks to help reduce the incidence of violent crime in Texas and throughout the USA.
