Qld Police codes

[brisvegas]

I've found the below codes, but wondering what DNA means? It's clearly not DNA in the scientific meaning. They refer to "has a permanent DNA on record"

It sounded like the matters were domestic related so i'm thinking something like a DVO but can't for the life of me figure out what DNA stands for (and coming up with all sorts of wild ideas

codes from page:
UIL= Under The Influence Of Liquor
UID= Under The Influence Of Drugs
QAS= Queensland Ambulance Service
QPS= Queensland Police Service
QFRS= Queensland Fire and Rescue Service

TIA

Why can't it be "in the scientific meaning"? See here.

I think it may be short for something else because it doesn't make sense in the context of what they were saying.

My friend's cousin is a cop so waiting for confirmation back

I think it could be a sample taken ,the yank are finger printing at airport to enter. so it just gets better!
To bad if some one plays with samples ,scary times ahead

In the context of how it is used, is it possibly DMA rather than DNA.

In which case, it could be referring to the Queensland Drug Misuse Act of 1986.

Just found this on the WA list of Police acronyms:


DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid. The protein found in cell chromosomes often referred to as the ‘genetic fingerprint’. Used to identify plants, animals and humans. DNA profiling began in Australia in 1988, and has assisted police in thousands of investigations since. WA is linked to all Australian states via the national DNA database and has the second largest number of DNA samples after Queensland. In WA, testing for police is carried out by Pathwest, with more than 60,000 samples tested in 2007. Urgent samples are tested in less than 24 hours, while property crime samples are completed within a month, unless prioritised for investigative reasons.

Could be in the medical sense...

when certain offenses are committed there DNA sample may be stored to allow them to find whoever did it. hope this makes sense

Funny I was just reading this thread and not 5 minutes after this came up. Convicted person and DNA in store or something.

DNA = Drug aNd Alcohol

[philbert87]

Android, why would the Queensland police permanently store there drugs and alcohol. I can tell you right now it is as above there DNA not drugs, DNA is taken from bodily fluid mainly as they have committed crimes in the past

[AndroidScanner]

Yes, you are probably right. I was going by the common acronym for DNA which in social sciences refers to drug and alcohol addiction or issues. I thought it was so the police can use this as a combined term when the individual in question has both previous drug AND alcohol related diversions as opposed to just one or the other... I stand corrected
