HISTORY 

In August of 1996 the Evidence Section moved from a 7,000 square foot facility, into its new 19,000 square foot facility, including an off-site vehicle impound facility that can store approximately 95 vehicles.  Construction of a new 1,000 square foot refrigerator/freezer was completed in June of 2002 and nearly doubled the storage capacity for cold storage items.  Biological items are stored in cold storage for future Crime Laboratory analysis.
