A new, state-of-the-art crime lab at the Indiana State Police Post in Lowell promises to elevate solving crime to new levels for Northwest Indiana and slightly beyond.
Law enforcement officials and state dignitaries on Tuesday morning got a firsthand look at the new 40,000-square-foot facility — a view that, once the troopers, lab staff and dispatchers move in two weeks, will never be available again to the public. The new $30 million building, for which construction started two years ago, replaces the current, 8,000-square-foot post built in 1977. The facility is the second of three for which Gov.
Having the expanded facility will also allow the lab to catch up on its current work enough to delve into cold cases as well as allow the state to discontinue outsourcing its lab work, which comes with a hefty price tag. Police officers from many Indiana departments walked though the building during an open house to display the new regional lab at the Indiana State Police Lowell Post on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
