The property is located in Sudlon, Cebu City, where other law enforcement offices of the government are also nestled.
Sator said the PNP has P25 million budget for the construction of the crime lab. He said it must be at least a three (3) story building with modern equipment and will have the same capabilities with Camp Crame in Manila.
“So di na kinahanglan moadto sa Camp Crame for purposes of forensic examination, dinhi na nato buhaton like for example sa atong DNA examination,” he told the media.
Gov. Davide said the province has given the PNP one year to construct the laboratory otherwise the property will revert to the province.
