The Division provides investigative support with a full service crime scene unit. The scientific disciplines range from DNA, Toxicology, Controlled Substances, Firearms and limited trace evidence analysis. The Breath Alcohol Section provides support for the Breath Alcohol instruments across Northern Nevada.
Analysis: The Sparks Police Department will contract with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Forensic Science Division for laboratory analysis for an array of different type of call-outs requested by the Sparks Police Department's Detective Division. This is a two year contract being $249,500.00 for the FY 12/13 and $284,500.00 for FY 13/14.
Alternatives: The City Council could deny approval of the Forensic Support Services Agreement.
