The Need for Reliable Evidence Storage
Applied Technical Services knows that proper evidence collection, storage, preservation, and submission are each important parts of the litigation process. Compromised evidence is of no use in court, potentially leading to incorrect conclusions and unnecessary settlements. Evidence typically spends time in storage before it is submitted to a judge, and it is often during this period that the evidence may be compromised.
Different types of evidence have different storage needs. A lack of security against careless handling or malicious tampering is a disaster waiting to happen, for instance. Furthermore, specific measures must be taken to ensure evidence is not contaminated by temperature or other ambient conditions.
Temporary evidence storage sites should be able to provide such basic protections to keep their inventory unharmed during the lengthy litigation process. Thankfully, ATS offers sufficient evidence storage solutions in addition to a wealth of other forensic services.
Our Security Measures
Our facility houses a secure evidence storage area that is accessible only to select, qualified employees. This storage space is large enough to hold vehicles, such as cars or small boats, throughout the litigation process.
Our storage area is under 24/7 camera surveillance. Multiple employee authentication barriers stand between our dedicated storage area and the public, and the space itself is enclosed and prohibited to all non-qualified employees. Our evidence storage capabilities can accommodate your needs, whether they are big or small.
Climate-Controlled Conditions
ATS has multiple evidence storage units capable of holding many pieces of evidence. If your evidence has more specific preservation requirements, we can seal it in an air-tight container to prevent contamination.
Depending on the evidence sample’s specific needs, our advanced equipment can simulate either a dry or a moist environment at a range of specified temperatures in order to best maintain the sample.
