 | How to Select the Right Locker for Your Needs Evidence continuity is of supreme importance to law enforcement agencies who know they need reliable temporary evidence lockers in order to establish the chain of custody for a piece of evidence to be admissible in court. But identifying the correct requirements for your temporary evidence storage means much more than picking out a color and a handle type. It's important to consider every aspect of how your department handles evidence, especially knowing how evidence must be temporarily stored until the property officer can process it.

What about evidence requiring a temperature controlled, refrigerated environment such as blood specimens and rape kits? Make sure you have the right range of locker sizes to accommodate the evidence you might need to store. A special note about refrigerated evidence lockers: it's vital the evidence is usable and admissible. Make sure the refrigerator you choose does not contaminate cardboard containers and removes the moisture normally associated with refrigeration. | ||||
