evidence room
Precinct storage area
An evidence room is a secure storage facility where law enforcement agencies keep physical items collected during criminal investigations.
Chain of custody is critical—every piece must be logged, tracked, and protected from tampering to remain admissible in court.
The murder weapon sat in the evidence room for three years before the case went to trial.
