Tempe taxpayers will pay another city hundreds of thousands of dollars to perform forensics work that now includes processing major crimes scenes, and training Tempe’s crime scene members.
Tempe officials waited months to disclose concerns to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office around the police department's Forensic Services Unit that processes crime scenes.
An internal memo from the Tempe Police Department reveals there are "areas of concern" within the department’s Forensic Services Unit, despite the city saying it’s about a need for advanced training.
