Study Notes
Packaging Evidence Container Labeling
- Label a container just before inserting evidence into it to avoid degrading existing evidence.
- Include essential details on the label: initials, identification number, date, and time.
- Assign a unique identification number to each piece of evidence, correlating with the location where it was photographed.
Selecting a Container
- Use a rigid, flat box lined with sheet cotton or similar material for charred or burned paper.
- Use an envelope for collecting checks, receipts, letters, reports, or similar documents.
- Ensure envelopes are larger than the documents collected.
Handling and Storing Documents
- Place dried documents between clean sheets of paper, such as paper towels or cardboard sheets, for protective covering before placing into containers.
- Close the container and seal the entire opening with evidence tape.
- Write initials, identification number, and date and time across the evidence tape seal.
Sealing Containers
- Seal containers as soon as possible to avoid cross-contamination and unnecessary movement of fragments.
