LUBBOCK – The Lubbock Police Department (LPD) Forensic Science and Property Unit will soon have a new home tailored specifically to its needs.
The Property Unit has been in its current location since the 1990s and has filled up with evidence from crime cases, stolen/found property, and confiscated items.
Eight technicians will oversee 800,000 pieces of evidence in a 7,000-sf facility. The new facility will be double the size of the current unit at approximately 14,000 sf, according to the LPD.
The new facility will house both the Forensic and Property Unit, with special features making officer’s jobs and storing property easier, unlike the current building which serves only as a storage space.
The new building was estimated to be completed in October 2024.
