Now, it’s 41 days, according to state crime lab director Amy Lightfoot. “It's exciting to be in a place where we're able to process kits as they come in the door instead of taking in evidence and then having it wait,” Lightfoot said. “So it's a huge, huge benefit and a big relief. The lab has also started using robotics and changed its workflow to help speed up the process. Lightfoot said she expects that average processing time to get down to their goal of 30 days by the end of April. Faster turnaround times can have big impacts on survivors, said Katherine Aguilera, Director of Advocacy Services at the Rape Recovery Center in Salt Lake City.
