Crime scene investigations and forensic crime laboratory technicians are tasked with the time consuming process of collecting, tracking and inventorying crime scene evidence in criminal cases.
The integrity of the evidence collected, protection against contamination and evidence stability are the chief objectives. Barcode labeling of tamper evident bags provide a secure chain-of-custody tracking - from the time of initial evidence collection, through the various forensic analytical processes and to the final disposition in a case file archive or long-term repository. A bar coding system can also reduce the time police officers and investigators spend logging and inventorying evidence by as much as 50 percent.
The entire process starts with evidence collection at the scene of the crime. The evidence is gathered up by the investigators, tagged, bagged and tamper-evident labels are placed on bags to prevent samples from being tampered with between collection at the scene and accessing or processing.
Evidence tampering in a criminal investigation tends to lead to issues of reasonable doubt in criminal cases and could very well pervert the course of justice. Tampering occurs usually as a result of a person altering, concealing, falsifying or destroying evidence in an investigation by law enforcement or by a regulatory authority.
