City Councilor requests investigation of crime lab after hearing no-show on staffing
A Boston City Councilor wants an investigation into the city's police crime lab after no one from the department attended a hearing about staffing at the lab and whether the department is processing rape kits quickly enough. Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn has called for an investigation into the city's police crime lab after no one from the police department attended a hearing about short staffing and whether the department is processing rape kits quickly enough. Flynn alleges that the lab has experienced short staffing, including not having a permanent director since August 2022, and failing to meet the state's 30-day rape kit testing requirement. He has urged the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to provide necessary resources and technical assistance for the lab. Flynn also plans to ask the U.S. Attorney to investigate the crime lab. The Forensic Science Oversight Board is reviewing Flynn's letter.
