Tulsa County Sheriff's Office Expands Evidence Lockers and Property Storage
The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office needed more room for property and evidence operations in a new building. Southwest Solutions Group installed high-density evidence storage, evidence lockers, and dedicated storage areas designed to increase capacity, improve security, speed evidence retrieval, and improve organization.
Download Case StudyThe project supported a sheriff's office property and evidence department responsible for controlled storage of law enforcement materials.
Completed for a new facility serving the Tulsa metro area.
The storage system was installed as part of a new building for the department.
The project used a powered high-density system to address a total lack of storage space and no room for growth.
High-density storage, evidence lockers, and dedicated gun room and drug room shelving improved secure property and evidence storage.
The department needed increased storage capacity, improved security, faster retrieval, and better organization.
A Property and Evidence Room With No Room to Grow
The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office property and evidence building had reached its storage limit, leaving the department without room for current needs or future growth. The new building needed a larger, more secure storage plan that could improve organization and make evidence retrieval faster. The project driver was a total lack of space.
No Remaining Storage Capacity
The existing property and evidence building was out of room. The department needed a larger storage environment to support its property and evidence operation.
No Room For Growth
The space problem was not limited to day-to-day storage pressure. The department also needed a system that could support continued property and evidence demands in the new building.
Evidence Access And Control Needs
Faster retrieval, improved security, and better organization were identified as project results. The storage approach needed to support controlled access across property, evidence, gun room, and drug room storage areas.
A Powered High-Density Evidence Storage System Built For Scale
Southwest Solutions Group designed a high-density storage solution featuring evidence lockers, powered mobile storage, and dedicated gun room and drug room shelving. The system created secure storage areas while improving organization, retrieval speed, and future storage capacity.
15-Foot High-Density Evidence Storage System
The installed scope included a 15-foot-high powered high-density system. Evidence lockers and shelving for gun room and drug room storage were included to support separate evidence handling needs.
Designed for a Growing Evidence Room
The department needed a storage system for a new building because the existing property and evidence space had no room for growth. A powered high-density system fit the need for greater capacity in a structured law enforcement evidence storage environment.
More Capacity With Better Evidence Control
The project addressed the documented goals of increased storage capacity, improved security, faster retrieval, and better organization. The completed installation is also noted as the largest property and evidence system in the State of Oklahoma.
Installing A Large Evidence Storage System In A New Building
Project notes identify an installation start date of May 1, 2023, with a four-month installation summary for the new Tulsa County Sheriff's Office property and evidence building. The work centered on fitting a large powered high-density system, evidence lockers, and dedicated gun room and drug room shelving into a facility planned to relieve a total lack of space. Available drawings supported layout coordination for the 15-foot storage system.
Defining Property And Evidence Storage Needs
Discovery focused on the department's lack of space, property and evidence storage requirements, and the needs of the new building. The review supported planning for the 15-foot-high powered system, evidence lockers, and dedicated gun room and drug room shelving.
Planning The Powered High-Density Layout
Layout planning addressed the high-density storage footprint and access needs within the new facility. The powered system requirements were coordinated with the building plan so the equipment could be placed for property and evidence use.
Coordinating Storage System Documentation
Project documentation included available drawings, including a plan view for the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office project. This documentation supported coordination of the storage scope before installation in the new building.
Coordinating System Components For Installation
The high-density system, evidence lockers, and shelving were coordinated for delivery based on project needs. The process kept the main powered system and the separate evidence storage areas aligned with the installation plan.
Installing The System
The installation included the powered system, evidence lockers, and shelving for the gun room and drug room. The work prepared the property and evidence department to use the new storage system in daily operations.
Planning For Long-Term System Use
A large powered high-density evidence storage system requires clear access for future service needs. Long-term support planning helps keep the storage system practical for ongoing property and evidence operations.
More Capacity, Better Control, And Faster Evidence Access
The completed project gave the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office a larger, more organized evidence room with high-density storage, evidence lockers, and dedicated storage areas for firearms and narcotics. Reported measurable results included increased storage capacity, improved security, faster retrieval, and better organization.
Expanded Evidence Storage Capacity
The project directly addressed the department's total lack of space by adding a large high-density storage system in the new building. The system is identified as the largest property and evidence system in the State of Oklahoma.
Faster Evidence Retrieval
Faster retrieval was one of the stated measurable results of the powered high-density system. Evidence lockers and organized storage areas helped staff retrieve evidence faster while supporting secure evidence handling and chain of custody.
Better Structured Evidence Areas
The project included storage for the main property and evidence area along with dedicated gun room and drug room shelving. That structure supported the stated result of better organization across different evidence storage needs.
A Larger Storage Foundation For Future Needs
The previous building had no room for growth, which drove the project. The new evidence storage system gives the department room to expand while supporting long-term property and evidence operations.
