ATLANTA — Legislators told law enforcement officials Tuesday that their pleas came too late to keep some crime labs from closing at the end of this month.
“We have looked at multiple options to try and keep those open,” said Rep. Chuck Martin, R-Alpharetta, vice chairman of the appropriations subcommittee for public safety.
To save money, three crime labs will close on March 31, including one in Summerville in Chattooga County.
