New Crime Lab in Pierre, SD

A new state-of-the art crime lab that will help in these kinds of cases should be complete by next year. Constructions crews are in the process of digging the foundation for the new South Dakota crime-lab complex in Pierre.
The 24-million dollar building will not only house a crime lab 2.5 times bigger than the current one, it will also hold offices for the Attorney General, the Department of Criminal Investigation and Law Enforcement Training Center.
The 151,000 square foot building is costing a couple of million dollars more than planned, in part because of the rising costs of building supplies.
