JACKSON, TN – Joined by Governor Bill Lee, the Frazier family, and a number of federal, state, and local leaders, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation officially opened the Special Agent De’Greaun Reshun Frazier Crime Lab and Regional Headquarters in Jackson.

The 46,513 square foot facility, located at 350 Smith Lane, sits just south of the McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport, and replaces the Memphis Crime Lab. With an additional 8,000 square feet, the new facility allows more efficient services to law enforcement agencies in the 21 counties the TBI serves in West Tennessee. It houses some of the newest technology and scientific instruments available and provides space for eight forensic units, though not all are currently staffed. They include Forensic Biology, Firearms, Toxicology, CODIS, Forensic Chemistry, Breath Alcohol, Crime Scene, and Evidence Receiving.

“Our new location in Jackson stands as a tribute to the service and sacrifice of Special Agent Frazier and will allow us to serve law enforcement and the people of West Tennessee more efficiently,” said Director David Rausch. “We are grateful for the support we have received from lawmakers and elected officials at the state and local level that has made today possible.”

The facility honors the service and sacrifice of Special Agent De’Greaun Frazier, who died in the line of duty during an undercover TBI drug operation in Jackson on August 9, 2016. Frazier, 35, was a 15-year law enforcement veteran and is survived by his wife, Shannon, and their two children, Kamaryn and Kendrix.
