Denver's new $36-million Police Crime Laboratory will soon take its place among the country's most high-tech evidence-handling and analysis facilities, far surpassing in size and complexity the city's decades-old lab space.
The 60,000-sq-ft facility at 14th and Cherokee streets replaces an existing 14,000-sq-ft lab, currently housed on the sixth floor of the Police Administration Building. With the additional space, the Denver Police Dept. (DPD) can offer improved forensic, fingerprinting and DNA resources to scientists and investigators.
