The police evidence chamber is underneath the 10th Precinct in the basement, this has been the location of the evidence locker since the time of the civil war.
- The sheriff kept all of the drugs and guns locked underground where none of the thieves could get to the loot… Working in the evidence locker is frigid and lonely.
There’s only one officer in the evidence Locker at a time and the indoor un-even temperatures can be pretty cold, and it’s already underground and the a/c runs at 69 degrees in order to make sure that none of the DNA samples are degraded. I was laboring in the evidence Locker a couple of weeks ago on the day shift. I heard a truly loud sound. It reminded me of a heavy steel door slamming shut. I got up from my desk and I started looking around. I searched through rows a, b, and c. I didn’t see anything except a lot of dust in the air… Once I was near the corner of the last hallway, I saw the reason for the noise. The ductwork from the ceiling had fallen to the floor. There was a pile of ductwork and rubble laying on the floor in the middle of the row. It looked care about the county dump. I contacted my boss so they could send someone to wash up the mess. I had to stay at the desk, but they sent a couple of young patrol officers to wash up that mess, and every one of us were lucky that the ductwork did not cause any destruction to any of the evidence that was stored down there.
