- New technology could help Anoka County speed up detection of drugs in forensic investigations
Anoka County is seeking to adopt the Randox Evidence Multistat device to rapidly detect drugs in forensic samples, reducing analysis time from six weeks to 30 minutes. The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office director, Shane Sheets, applied for a $1.5 million U.S. Department of Justice grant to purchase the technology, aiming to provide faster results for law enforcement and public health alerts on opioid trends.
