Additionally, these lockers offer a full-size rear door allowing authorized personnel to remove items quickly and reset the locker openings for use. Moreover, optional front lock-out systems automatically lock the front doors if the rear door is opened, preventing unauthorized access.

Skokie Police Department Protects Evidence With Temporary Lockers

Located just outside of Chicago, the Skokie Police Department was experiencing plenty of issues with an old Property and Evidence Room that wasn’t doing its job. For instance, evidence was stored in a janitor’s closet and space was so tight that technicians had to use the floor to package large pieces of evidence. So, by installing pass-thru evidence lockers, protection and integrity of short-term evidence storage was ensured. More importantly, this created a more efficient and well-maintained chain of custody for the 23 evidence technicians who run the room 24/7. Lastly, refrigerated components were also installed into the pass-thru lockers for biological evidence preservation.

Refrigerated Evidence Lockers

Biological evidence storage has its own set of preservation criteria and to assist, our refrigerated evidence lockers are engineered to maintain a constant temperature of 38-42 degrees Fahrenheit, and include a digital alarm to warn of inconsistency in temperature. Refrigerated compartments are available in multiple sizes and can be integrated into pass-thru or non-pass-thru evidence lockers.

Organized Long-Term Evidence Storage with Mobile Shelving at Skokie PD

With its proximity to the city of Chicago and being home to one of the most popular shopping malls in the area, the police department in the village of Skokie, Illinois was consistently processing and storing large capacities of stolen merchandise. In addition, they often ran out of space to store evidence and wanted to make a change to their long-term evidence storage. Luckily, the department got a chance to renovate their new building for its headquarters and good evidence storage was a top priority.

To assist, we installed high-density mobile storage systems to make sure they were able to capitalize on available space and create a more organized solution for their new Property and Evidence Room.
