Evidence Lockers
Securing the Evidence Chain of Custody
Physical evidence is key in determining how a crime was committed, who was involved in the crime, and most importantly, who wasn’t. By maintaining an undisputed chain of evidence custody from crime scene collection to entry into the court’s record, the letter of the law is clearly visible to all participants in determining the innocence or guilt of each defendant. Spacesaver understands the concerns and challenges of law enforcement professionals and our evidence storage solutions were designed with their specific needs in mind.
Temporary Evidence Lockers
Evidence can arrive for processing any time of day or night — and until it’s received by a property room technician, needs a temporary storage solution that can guarantee its security and integrity. Designed to provide a secure chain of custody for short-term evidence storage, Spacesaver’s evidence lockers have a reputation that precincts can rely on.

Narcotics Evidence Lockers
When it comes to narcotics evidence storage, the International Association for Property and Evidence (IAPE) outlines several best practices — and the advice is pretty straightforward.
Narcotics storage should have:
- A separate location from general long-term evidence
- A location with enhanced, often “double-locked” security
- Proper ventilation to mitigate health risks from exposure to chemical fumes, drug particles, and other contaminants

With louvered vents, recessed interior accessories, and the ability to connect to your department’s HVAC system, the Narcotics Evidence Locker (NEL) is designed to reduce and eliminate narcotics odors and improve the air quality of the surrounding environment, reducing safety hazards for evidence technicians and other personnel who need to access the storage.
