The Macon Police Department Crime Lab consists of one (1) Lieutenant, three (3) Sergeants, one (1) AFIS Coordinator and one (1) Evidence Clerk. Although a part of the Support Services Division, the Crime Lab and its personnel are subject to be called upon by any of the four (4) precincts or other units of the department at any time.

In addition to the collection and preservation of evidence, the crime lab personnel maintains evidence for court cases and records that go along with each piece of evidence collected. The Crime Lab Unit works closely with both the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab. Each evidence technician is skilled in photography, latent print comparison, handling of biological and preservation of DNA evidence. The Crime Lab's AFIS Coordinator is responsible for the submission of latent prints into the computer system for comparison and matching of prints to a particular offender. Proper handling of all paperwork is essential for the successful prosecution of a case and the Evidence Clerk is responsible for this task. Evidence vouchers, gun traces, and other paperwork associated with a case are filed by the clerk. A database is maintained in a computer system until the case has been closed or the evidence has been destroyed.
