A method and apparatus for collecting DNA samples from uncooperative suspects are provided. A modified bathroom fixture, including a toilet with an empty reservoir tank and a missing handle on the water fill valve, retains excreted material in the toilet bowl, allowing for easy collection of DNA samples. In an alternate embodiment, the toilet's reservoir tank is full, and the water fill valve is in the on position, but the waste flush is diverted to a holding tank. This enables DNA technicians to collect samples from the excreted material for forensic analysis. The invention eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming stakeouts, provides a quick and reliable method for DNA sample collection, reduces the risk of contamination, and allows for immediate sample collection, advancing forensic DNA analysis.
