Sedgwick County to buy cooler for Forensic Science Center

Sedgwick County’s Regional Forensic Science Center has concerns about storage space if there should be a surge in coronavirus cases.

The center’s interim director, Shelly Steadman, said her office has checked with hospitals and funeral homes and they have limited space.  She said the Forensic Science Center is at capacity with its current caseload, not because of the coronavirus, but there will be issues if a need develops for more storage space.

County commissioners approved $81,000 for the purchase of a walk-in cooler to provide 22 additional spaces, if there should be a need for more space.  The cost would be funded through federal money received by Sedgwick County for costs related to the coronavirus pandemic.
