Crime Lab & Evidence Storage Facility - Sheriff
Manning inherited a substandard crime lab and
cramped evidence storage area housed in the old jail
kitchen in the basement of the courthouse.
Numerous OSHA regulation concerns and the deplorable
conditions in which our Identification Officers
worked prompted Sheriff Manning to seek construction
funding from the Pitt County Board of Commissioners.
Subsequently, a new crime lab and
evidence storage facility was built inside the
unused gymnasium adjoining the detention center.
This state of the art facility was designed with the
counties future growth in mind and will be an asset
to crime control efforts in Pitt County for many
years to come.
The facility includes
evidence fuming hoods, laboratory work stations,
computerized fingerprint identification systems,
computerized video enhancement equipment, alternate
light source evidence collection equipment, a
photography lab, biohazard work room, climate
controlled storage for fragile evidence, offices and
a large property storage area. |
