OKLAHOMA CITY -- Detectives across Oklahoma hope the new year brings with it an expanded DNA database.A new law starting in January requires all felons in Oklahoma to submit a blood or saliva sample for the statewide database. Only about 4,500 felons are tested each year.
The new rules expand testing to 20,000 per year, which puts Oklahoma on the cutting edge of crime fighting, according to Oklahoma lawmakers.
