Summary by Kathleen Moriarty
On April 3, 2009, the Scottish Police Services Authority (SPSA) planned to build a new crime laboratory in Dundee. Their old laboratory in Aberdeen was expected to be demolished. But Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill wanted the SPSA to review their proposal before moving on. Eventually, the plan was cancelled, and the old location of the forensic laboratory was kept in business. Besides, convener Vic Emery of the SPSA deemed the relocation of the facility "premature". Over the next 5-6 months, the SPSA worked towards establishing a national forensic service, which turned out to be successful in cities like Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
