FOCUS The Modern Police Evidence Room
SUMMARY
Important criminal cases and careers
have been won and lost based on the
protocols used in the evidence. Wellmaintained, well-documented and
orderly evidence rooms have helped put
and keep dangerous criminals in prison.
Missing evidence also prevents those
wrongly convicted of crimes and serving prison time from being able to have
evidence retested with new technology.

early anything can end up in an evidence room
and stay there for years, lost in the shuffle. When
things are just thrown into an evidence room for
years, no one knows what is there and when it can
be removed. (Photo courtesy of IAPE)
