away or disappearing into a crowd before arrest was highlighted last week at
The SHOT Show in Las Vegas.

The
High Velocity DNA Tagging system by the U.K.-based security company Selectamark
was introduced with police officers in a riot situation in mind. Coming in both
pistol and rifle form, the tool would allow police to remain 30 to 40 meters
from the target and tag them with a SelectaDNA High Velocity pellet that
contains a unique DNA code to ensure the correct person is apprehended later.

“On
contact with the target the uniquely-coded SelectaDNA solution leaves a
synthetic DNA trace mark that will enable the relevant authorities to confirm
or eliminate that person from their involvement in a particular situation and
could ultimately lead to arrest and prosecution,” Selectamark Managing Director
Andrew Knights said in a statement.
