Temporary Refrigerated Evidence Lockers for Intake

Temporary refrigerated evidence lockers store biological evidence waiting to be processed. Officers can deposit evidence into the locker anytime to ensure secure storage until authorized technicians retrieve it, and refrigerated lockers help ensure that biological evidence remains well-preserved during this storage period.

The refrigerated evidence lockers maintain a constant temperature of 38 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit with an air circulating fan to keep temperature consistent throughout the locker. A digital alarm alerts personnel of temperature fluctuations, and the lockers are constructed with a stainless steel double-wall interior, magnetic seals on the front and rear doors, and 4 to 24 lockable compartments controlled by a push-button, keyless lock system. Units are available in pass-through or non-pass-through configurations and can be freestanding or integrated into a nonrefrigerated evidence locker system.

Police Evidence Refrigerators for Processing Storage

Once the biological evidence is retrieved, technicians need an appropriate way to store it during processing. Evidence storage refrigerators are an ideal solution for safely housing biological evidence and other sensitive materials within the property and evidence room, providing secure refrigerated evidence storage during this critical stage of the chain of custody.

Police evidence refrigerators feature sophisticated technology to keep samples at appropriate temperatures. A digital microprocessor temperature controller provides precise temperature management with an adjustable operating temperature between 34 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, while forced draft air circulation ensures temperature uniformity and quick recovery after door openings. Audible and visual alarms alert personnel if the temperature becomes too high or low, and refrigerators are available in capacities from 12 to 72 cubic feet with durable hardware and energy-efficient components.

Evidence Storage Racks for Refrigerated Rooms

Once the evidence is processed, it goes into long-term storage for retention, perhaps indefinitely. Biological and other temperature-sensitive evidence are often kept in refrigerated rooms or walk-in freezers for long-term climate-controlled storage, where limited capacity makes space-efficient shelving essential.

High-density refrigerated storage systems allow you to make the most of your temperature-controlled storage space. New or existing storage racks mount on movable carriages that slide on floor tracks, compacting together to convert static aisles into storage space while leaving one or two movable aisles for access.

Refrigerated evidence locker room installation in police department — Use refrigerated evidence storage, from temporary lockers to police evidence refrigerators, to protect chain of custody in busy police departments.

Police departments handle a high volume of biological evidence, sexual assault kits, drugs, and chemicals that must be preserved from the moment they are collected. Temporary refrigerated evidence lockers store biological evidence waiting to be processed so officers can deposit evidence into the locker anytime to ensure secure storage until authorized technicians retrieve it, helping protect sensitive materials during intake and preserving samples for testing and prosecution.

Inside the property and evidence room, evidence storage refrigerators provide secure refrigerated evidence storage while staff complete documentation, testing, and movement through the chain of custody. A digital microprocessor temperature controller with an adjustable operating temperature between 34 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, forced draft air circulation, and audible and visual alarms help ensure that biological evidence is stored at appropriate temperatures during processing.

Refrigerated evidence locker wall installation in forensic facility — Use evidence storage refrigerators and high-density racks in crime labs to preserve sensitive samples.

Crime labs and forensic facilities rely on precise temperature control to protect biological evidence and other sensitive materials during analysis. Evidence storage refrigerators are an ideal solution for safely housing samples while technicians carry out testing and documentation, using digital microprocessor temperature controllers and forced draft air circulation to maintain consistent refrigerated evidence storage conditions.

To make the most of limited refrigerated space, crime labs can extend refrigerated evidence storage with high-density refrigerated storage systems. New or existing racks mount on movable carriages that slide on floor tracks and compact together to convert static aisles into storage space, with one or two movable aisles remaining for authorized access and configurations tailored to biological evidence and other temperature-sensitive materials.

Refrigerated pass-through evidence lockers in government agency facility — Support long-term retention and compliance with refrigerated evidence storage systems in federal and government agency facilities.

Federal and government agencies often retain evidence for extended periods and must demonstrate consistent chain of custody across multiple locations and departments. Biological and other temperature-sensitive evidence are kept in refrigerated rooms or walk-in freezers for long-term climate-controlled storage, where high-density refrigerated evidence storage helps preserve samples and supports compliance requirements.

High-density evidence storage racks for refrigerated rooms mount on movable carriages that slide on floor tracks and compact together to convert static aisles into storage space. One or two movable aisles remain for authorized access, and the system can effectively double the storage capacity within a refrigerator or freezer facility while helping save on energy costs. Combined with temporary refrigerated lockers and police evidence refrigerators, these systems provide end-to-end refrigerated evidence storage for federal and government operations.

Honest Results

““Thanks Craig! We really appreciate you pulling some strings to get the high density files installed. The library shelves are already loaded and ready for the Attorneys to move in! The HD files look great! This was a challenging project and it’s been such a relief to have your knowledge and support. Most of all, thanks for making us look good.”

“What I love about SSG is that you seem to have a product for about everything related to storage, you’re flexible with design options, you’re quick to respond, and perhaps most of all you always have CAD drawings that I can use in my drawings which makes my life easier. If there’s somebody else out there that does what you do, I don’t know who they are.”

“I searched high and low for a heavy-duty cabinet that was new, attractive, had drawers that could support more than 100 lbs., and was reasonably priced. I was running out of time when I found your website, it was a lifesaver!”
