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 after concerns over what is happening inside the forensics unit.
The ABC15 Investigators obtained a memo from Tempe’s assistant police chief to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office dated September 27, 2023, which said: “A recent assessment of staff capabilities revealed a lack of consistency in operations, and a separate evaluation of our latent print analysis capability identified significant shortcomings,” wrote Interim Assistant Police Chief James Sweig.
According to the agreement between the two agencies, Tempe will pay Mesa $859,000 for fiscal year 2023-2024. The scope of work shows that Mesa is estimated to respond to approximately 20 major scenes while Tempe’s crime scene members go through a 16-week training.
