The Police Department plans to move its crime lab and evidence room to a new east Fort Worth location that would nearly triple the space available for those operations.
On Aug. 6, the city bought the 40,232-square-foot Stripling & Cox department store building on East Lancaster Avenue, according to county deed records. The building has been vacant since the store closed in early 2005.
The location will give the Police Department much-needed space to expand its crime lab operations and the space needed to properly house evidence and other property, said Lt. Dean Sullivan, a police spokesman. Those operations now occupy about 15,000 square feet at police headquarters on Weatherford Street downtown, he said.
