There’s a high-tech crime lab in Fort Myers where analysts help solve crimes to get criminals off the streets.
Evidence from old crime scenes are kept at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Regional Crime Lab near Page Field. The lab is one of six in the state and they do more than just DNA. They also compare fingerprints and analyze drugs. There is also a crime scene team that helps to support dozen of law enforcement agencies in Southwest Florida.
