Daily News | State awards $50M to improve Philly’s forensic crime lab and police surveillance systems
Alejandro A. Alvarez / Staff PhotographerState leaders announced Thursday that they plan to give $50 million in federal funds to Philadelphia law enforcement, a significant cash infusion intended to improve the city’s forensic and digital policing systems amid the continued wave of crushing gun violence.
this summer, city and state officials celebrated the investment, saying it would help the city seek justice for the thousands of Philadelphians affected by crime and gun violence. The money, nearly double the forensic lab’s annual budget, will allow the department to hire 120 new personnel and forensic scientists, buy new equipment to process DNA, fingerprints, firearms, and extract cell phone data, among other things. The department is in the early planning stages of building a new crime lab.
