Protecting Evidence Hold Vehicles
Towing for law enforcement requires the handling of evidence hold vehicles and how you handle them can be detrimental to preserving valuable trace evidence. Fingerprints, DNA, fibers, paint transfer, vegetation or dirt stuck in tire treads or fender wells, and tire tread marks are just a few of the sources of evidence that could possibly be disturbed through the towing companies handling of the vehicle. Protecting evidence hold vehicles includes special handling of the transport, secure and limited access to the storage area and proper documentation. This seminar will discuss ways tow companies can avoid contaminating valuable trace evidence.
