Crime Scene Machine: New Vehicle Helps Gather Evidence
The inside of the new crime scene investigation vehicle has storage for all the equipment the Decatur Police Department might need at a crime scene.
A new vehicle, outfitted by Sirchie Vehicle Division of Medford, NJ, is being used by Decatur Police Department detectives to assist in processing crime scenes. Deputy Chief Dave Dickerson said they previously had been using a Chevy Tahoe and several squad cars to transport equipment, but the new vehicle will give them a central location for all of the supplies and equipment required to process a crime scene. The approximate $68,000 vehicle was bought with no cost to taxpayers, but with money seized from felons, and it gives detectives a better environment for collecting, handling, and analyzing evidence.
