CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The Charleston Police Department has a new $12.4 million facility in West Ashley dedicated to forensic services.
The groundbreaking for the new building took place in October of 2019. Its completion means those different locations are all under one roof on Bees Ferry Road.
Forensic Service Director Judy Gordon says this new building along with their new technology and resources will help them solve crimes faster.
“Even after a few weeks it’s made a big difference in our efficiency and our effectiveness by consolidating everybody into one facility,” Gordon said. “It provides us with additional space, resources, technology, in order to get results out faster.”
