Which term refers to databases used to store investigative information beyond DNA data?

• A. National DNA Database
• B. Physical Evidence
• C. Testimonial Evidence
• D. Intelligence Databases

Answer: (D)

In investigations, information management goes beyond what’s in a DNA profile. Databases that store this broader set of investigative information are called intelligence databases. They organize leads, informant details, surveillance notes, case histories, links between offences, suspect profiles, and other non-DNA data to help investigators connect clues and plan actions. The National DNA Database is specific to genetic data, not general investigative information; physical evidence refers to tangible items from a crime scene; testimonial evidence is statements from witnesses. So intelligence databases are the right fit for storing information that supports investigative work beyond DNA data.
