Systematic evidence storage duties are often assigned with little or no functional training.  The involved transactional procedures require efforts uncommon to other business type storage facilities. This one or two-day best practice seminar is designed for managing a professional evidence storage operation. Criminal prosecution efforts combined with an agency’s public reputation and simultaneously the careers of its Chief/Sheriff downwards to assigned custodians have repeatedly been irreparably damaged for failing to continuously and appropriately manage this assignment.
