威州1.39亿美元新法医大楼 密尔沃基剪彩启用

威斯康星州10月9日为密尔沃基地区一座新的法医科学与防护医学大楼剪彩。州政府为这座四层大楼投入近1.39亿美元,其中州建筑委员会出资1.15亿美元,另有约2,400万美元来自2022年的一笔拨款。
新楼把多个机构集中到同一屋檐下:密尔沃基犯罪实验室、县法医办公室、县应急管理办公室,以及Versiti的器官获取组织与组织库。大楼位于密尔沃基区域医疗中心园区内,靠近Froedtert医院与威斯康星医学院。
密尔沃基县县长大卫·克劳利(David Crowley)出席了剪彩。州政府表示,把犯罪实验室、法医与应急管理集中安置,有助缩短案件检验与应急协同的链条,服务整个密尔沃基地区。
法医与犯罪实验室是刑事案件定罪与翻案的关键环节,积压检验近年在美国多地备受关注。威州这座新楼启用后,地区案件的物证检验与法医服务将逐步转移到新址进行。

Wisconsin Opens $139M Forensic Science Center in Milwaukee
Wisconsin officials on Oct. 9 cut the ribbon on a new Forensic Science and Protective Medicine building serving the Milwaukee area. The state invested nearly $139 million in the four-story facility — $115 million through the State Building Commission plus about $24 million from a 2022 appropriation.
The building brings several agencies under one roof: the Milwaukee Crime Laboratory, the county medical examiner's office, the county Office of Emergency Management, and Versiti's organ procurement organization and tissue bank. It sits on the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center campus, near Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley attended the ceremony. State officials said co-locating the crime lab, medical examiner, and emergency management should shorten the chain between evidence testing and emergency response across the Milwaukee region.
Forensic and crime-lab backlogs have drawn scrutiny across the United States, since testing delays can stall both prosecutions and exonerations. With the new building open, evidence testing and forensic services for the region will gradually shift to the new site.
