底特律警察局鉴证科乱象曝光 局长承诺整顿取证流程

密歇根州韦恩县底特律市消息:底特律市警察局局长托德·贝蒂森表示,将着手整顿局内问题重重的犯罪现场鉴证科。11月5日,底特律市警察委员会举行会议,两名鉴证技术人员特伦·海恩斯和玛格丽特·洛瓦洛再次陈述该部门内部的乱象:证物处理区出现蛆虫、有人饲养兔子、缺乏无菌设备,取证与证物包装工作难以保证规范。
委员会委员达里尔·伍兹说,贝蒂森对此高度专注,承诺解决问题。据《底特律自由报》此前报道,该报采访了9名在职与离职技术人员,其中4人已离职、5人仍在岗,多人反映了类似问题,包括物资短缺到要向医院借手套。
贝蒂森已于11月3日与鉴证科人员见面,承诺改善工作条件。会上,委员伊娃·加尔萨·德瓦尔斯切表示,本月晚些时候的预算审议将继续关注该科的经费需求。
Detroit Police Chief Vows to Fix Dysfunction in Crime Scene Unit
DETROIT, Mich. — Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison has vowed to fix dysfunction inside the department's Crime Scene Services unit, where current and former technicians have described maggots, breeding rabbits and a lack of sterile equipment for gathering and packaging evidence.
At a November 5 meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners, two technicians — Teron Haynes and Margaret Lovallo — reiterated allegations first reported by the Detroit Free Press. Commissioner Darryl Woods Jr. said Bettison is "laser-sharp focused" on the problem and has promised to address it.
The Free Press interviewed nine current and former technicians — four who have left and five still on staff — who described chronic supply shortages, including borrowing gloves from hospitals. Bettison met with the unit on November 3 and promised to improve conditions. Commissioner Eva Garza Dewaelsche said she would keep the unit in mind when budget sessions come up later this month.
