What kind of crimes are we talking about? I don't think they are using DNA to solve burglaries or white collar crimes. I imagine this would be for murders and the like.

If they are investigating a crime and someone leaves DNA behind, I am pretty certain they are collecting it and recording it in their database to match with prior crimes (most departments are very behind in this practice, but it seems like their is a story about it at least once a year). Then when a rape victim consents to a rape kit, they need to run all of the DNA collected (including the victims) and put it in the system. I doubt they have a filter that limits them comparing it only to violent crimes.
