Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Friday created new oversight for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation in the wake of a sweeping DNA testing scandal at the statewide law enforcement agency. The governor established a 14-member oversight committee for CBI’s forensic services division that will review “quality incidents” in the division, offer feedback on policies and procedures, and propose improvements, according to a three-page executive order. The new oversight committee comes in the wake of revelations that a longtime scientist at CBI, Yvonne “Missy” Woods, manipulated DNA testing results for years even as her colleagues repeatedly raised concerns about the quality of her work during her nearly 30-year career. CBI has so far identified problems in 809 of Woods’ cases between 1994 and 2023.
