Evidence Boxes
Some evidence doesn't belong in plastic bags. Either the plastic will
not provide protection to the handler of the evidence or the plastic will
cause damage to the evidence. For metal evidence or sharp evidence, we
suggest using cardboard boxes. Complete with pre-printed evidence forms,
all our evidence boxes are 200 pounds per square inch burst strength stock
with tuck-in sides for strength and security.
Knife Boxes
Knives can cause difficulties if not packaged in hard-sided containers.
These boxes stack neatly and safely on a shelf to protect personnel in
the Property Room. For transportation to the lab or to court, boxes protect
everyone involved. The reusable nylon ties below can be used to secure
the knife by wrapping the ties around it and through the holes in the
box. Because the ties are reusable, the knife can be easily removed for
latent print processing or other laboratory tests. Then, using the same
ties, secure it back in the same box.
Handgun Boxes
Handgun boxes are about the size of a book (inside dimensions are 12
1/2" x 7 1/2" x 2"). If a shelf is available in the Property Room, place
the guns on end in their boxes like books on a shelf. Write the case number
or other identifying data on the "spine" of the box for easy retrieval.
Chain-of-evidence labels are printed on the top of each box. Arrows on
the box indicate the direction of the muzzle. There are no pictures or
drawing of guns on them. There are small holes in the bottom of the box
which can be used to fasten the gun in place, using our nylon ties (shown
below). Of course, never, NEVER, NEVER store a gun in a plastic bag.
Footwear Impression Boxes
Store your footwear and tire track casts in a sturdy storage box. The
inside dimensions of our boxes are 17 1/4" x 11" x 2 1/4" and each box
has an insert to make two layers. You can store two casts from the same
case in one box. You can also store two pieces of lift film from an electrostatic
dustprint lifter or two to four Rubber-Gelatin lifters in each box. Case
of 25 boxes.
Rifle Boxes
Instead of standing rifles in a corner where they rub against each other
and fall out when you're looking for one, store rifles in boxes. Write
your case numbers on the side of the box for easy retrieval, instead of
fumbling through tangled evidence tags tied through the trigger guard.
Arrows are printed on the box to indicate the direction of the muzzle.
There are holes in the box to fasten the gun with the reusable nylon ties
below. Chain-of-custody labels are printed on the box. Inside dimensions
are 51" x 9" x 3".
Reusable Nylon Tie Downs
For use with knife, handgun and rifle boxes, these nylon tie downs insert
through the holes in the bottom of the boxes and wrap around the evidence
to keep it from shifting around inside the box. These 10 1/2" ties can
be reused simply by pressing the releasing tab. If a large piece of evidence
(e.g., rifle with scope) must be held in place, simply put two ties together.
