Securing Emergency Room Forensic Evidence
Preserving evidence for police is one of the top priorities in emergency departments in addition to caring for critical patients. Emergency room evidence lockers provide an efficient solution for storing and handling rape kits and hospital DNA forensics while preserving the chain of custody and ensuring the integrity of the evidence during storage. Emergency room evidence lockers are available to hospitals in Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Huntsville, Galveston, Alvin, Baytown, Lufkin, Pasadena, and throughout the state of Texas.

Evidence Lockers Secure Rape Kits & DNA Forensics
The chain of custody is extremely important to maintain, as it provides detailed documentation of evidence collection and handling. If the chain of custody is neglected, then the evidence may be unusable in court. That’s why it’s important for not just officers to know how to document and store evidence, but emergency room nurses and staff as well.
However, with so many critical tasks that also need attention, it can be difficult to follow evidence documentation and storage protocol. The emergency room evidence lockers allow staff to store and log crucial evidence easily so they can focus on patient care. For DNA evidence that must be kept at specific temperatures, the evidence lockers are also available with built-in refrigerators that maintain the proper storage environment to preserve evidence.
The evidence lockers also ensure that it cannot be accessed by unauthorized users. Once the locker compartment has been closed, it cannot be opened again without the correct RFID or access code. Doors are self-closing, self-locking, and use keyless operation with RFID proximity cards or 4-digit PINs. There is no need to manage, distribute, and keep track of physical keys, which can take up valuable time and leave evidence collection open to security errors. The evidence is stored in its own locked compartment until it needs to be retrieved by an authorized user. The locker’s compact design also saves space so there is more room to store other essential items like medical carts and other supplies.
