The Washington State Patrol is tackling a growing backlog in firearms forensics by hiring and training more scientists to double testing capacity. With a 379-day wait time and nearly 1,000 backlogged cases, WSP expects to cut the backlog by 60% by 2027 and reduce turnaround times to 120 days by 2028. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/wsp-takes-steps-to-address-growing-firearms-forensics-backlog/ #WSP #FirearmsTesting #Forensics #WashingtonState #Backlog #PublicSafety #JohnBatiste #CrimeLab #GeneLawrence
