Evidence Collection

• Evidence Collection/Preservation

  The Evidence Management Division employs trained, tested, and experienced evidence technicians. Our established protocols can secure your evidence from collection through litigation. Naturally, our methods and protocols meet or exceed the standards of evidence care (i.e., NFPA 921, etc.). Many of our clients use our evidence collection services and facilities solely for evidence preservation and examinations by other experts.

The facilities have been designed and equipped to support component failure analysis as well as full vehicle examinations. Our facilities on-site equipment includes side-by-side covered vehicle lifts. In addition, we also provide in-house and mobile x-ray service. Our approximate 1200 ft.² climate controlled examination room is also equipped with the tools and equipment most often required for forensic examinations.
