How You Can Help

JusticeDrive is a crowdfunding portal designed to help law enforcement agencies solve crimes. Detective work is resource intensive and can be especially costly for long-running investigations.

Visit JusticeDrive.org to learn about specific cases that need your help.

Upload Your DNA

Have you downloaded your DNA results from a service like 23andMe, Ancestry.com, FamilyTree DNA, or My Heritage? You can help by transferring those results to DNA Justice, a non-profit database used by law enforcement to identify unidentified victims and persons of interest in criminal investigations such as sexual assault and homicide.

We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of Phase I of our Snapshot study! We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who signed up and participated in this important phase. Your contributions have been invaluable.

Thank you once again for your support and participation!

Make your contribution to modern crime-fighting science by participating in the Snapshot DNA Phenotypic Trait and Ancestry Study. DNA Phenotyping — i.e., predicting a person's appearance ("phenotypic traits") from DNA — is helping detectives solve crimes around the world. Snapshot's phenotype prediction algorithms learn by example, so we are building a dataset comprised of trait and genetic information against which those models can be trained.

You can help!
By answering questions about your ancestry and appearance, taking images of yourself using the Snapshot Study iPhone App, and uploading a DNA genotype file from a recreational genomics company if you have one, you will help the Snapshot algorithms learn to make better predictions. Working together, we can make a difference in the fight against crime.

IMPORTANT: The Snapshot Study App makes use of the dedicated hardware available in Apple^® iPhone^® devices only. We are unable to offer an Android version at this time, but hope to do so in the future.
