Law Enforcement Forensic Science?

How long does it usually take for forensics to find fingerprints or DNA on an object or trace a purchased item to the suspect?

I'm not talking about NCSI or Criminal Minds here. I'm talking REAL life detective work.

You've been watching too much television. They don't bother much with that unless there's been a murder or they're tracking a drug dealer. And DNA tests take ages.
