State Crime Lab Commission Makes a Move

The State Crime Lab Commission just approved a plan to bring firearms toolmark testing in-house, which is a big deal. It’s about time they took control of this process instead of relying on outsiders. Currently, they’re sending evidence to external labs, which is not only costly but also slows down the entire investigation process.

What This Means

By doing it themselves, the lab can cut down on wait times and hopefully get more accurate results. It’s not like they’re starting from scratch – they’ve been working on getting the necessary equipment and training their staff. Now, they just need to put it all into practice.

Let’s be real, it’s ridiculous that it’s taken them this long to make the switch. But hey, better late than never. It’s a step in the right direction, and hopefully, it’ll lead to more efficient and effective investigations.
