Kendall County Sheriff’s Office Unveils New Evidence Processing Room

A new evidence processing room located at the Kendall County Public Safety Center will aid evidence technicians with the collection and identification of physical evidence. The development and processing of latent fingerprints along with the preservation of biological evidence are some of the things evidence technicians will be able to do in the evidence processing room, according to a news release from the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.

While the evidence will still be sent to a state crime lab for analysis, the addition of the evidence processing room will help expedite the process identifying physical evidence in criminal investigations. The evidence processing room will also be available for use by local law enforcement agencies to aid in their investigations. This cooperative effort is aimed at expanding our local capacity for evidence processing throughout Kendall County.

“The addition of the evidence processing room is another great resource now available to local law enforcement agencies to help solve crime in Kendall County,” said Sheriff Dwight A. Baird.
