New Sheriff’s Property and Evidence Facility
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – Hamilton County law enforcement has officially finished upgrades to the Law Enforcement Operations Center (LEOC) and the newly renovated Property and Evidence Facility that formerly was the Chattanooga Gas Company building.
The $600,000 project began in January 2023 and took two years to complete.
Together, the spaces now cover 9,100 square feet, more than double the size of the previous 4,100-square-foot facility, providing room for both uniform and investigative services. This space now keeps impounded cars next to the property and evidence facility. Which comes in handy as many vehicles work as evidence.
Sheriff officials say the central location makes operations more accessible for staff and the public.
Retired investigators contributed to renovations and maintenance, helping save taxpayer dollars while bringing the facility to life.
The combined new and renovated spaces are designed to improve operational efficiency, evidence security, and overall support for law enforcement activities in Hamilton County.
