Who needs an evidence room audit?
Law Enforcement Agencies: Proper evidence management is critical to ensuring cases withstand scrutiny in court. Our audits help police departments and other law enforcement agencies identify gaps in storage, documentation, and chain-of-custody procedures. By addressing these vulnerabilities, we help agencies maintain the integrity of their evidence and reduce the risk of evidence-related challenges in investigations or trials.
Attorneys and Legal Teams: Legal professionals often rely on evidence to build their cases, whether for prosecution, defense, or civil litigation. Our audits ensure the evidence they depend on has been stored and handled according to legal and procedural standards, protecting against claims of mishandling or contamination that could undermine a case.
Corporate Security Teams: Companies that handle sensitive materials or forensic evidence as part of their internal investigations benefit from our expertise in securing and maintaining evidence. We help corporations ensure compliance with industry regulations and internal policies, minimizing liability and safeguarding critical information.
Municipal Oversight Committees: Independent audits of evidence rooms are often required to ensure public trust and accountability. We provide thorough, unbiased evaluations that support transparency and adherence to best practices.
Insurance Companies: In cases where evidence storage or chain-of-custody concerns arise—such as in fraud investigations—our audits help verify that evidence has been handled appropriately. This ensures accurate claims processing and mitigates potential disputes.

An evidence room audit ensures that evidence is properly stored, documented, and handled according to legal and procedural standards. This helps maintain the integrity of evidence, ensures compliance with regulations, and reduces the risk of mishandling that could compromise investigations or court cases.
Evidence room audits are ideal for law enforcement agencies, legal teams, and organizations that manage sensitive evidence. They are especially important for agencies undergoing accreditation processes, addressing public accountability concerns, or preparing for external reviews.
Regular audits are recommended to ensure ongoing compliance and operational efficiency. While the frequency can vary, annual or biannual audits are common best practices for maintaining high standards in evidence management.
Our team thoroughly evaluates how evidence is stored, reviews chain-of-custody records, conducts inventory reconciliation, and assesses facility security measures. We identify gaps or risks and provide detailed recommendations for corrective action.
An audit not only identifies issues but also offers actionable solutions to improve procedures, enhance security, and minimize liability. By implementing our recommendations, you can streamline operations, reduce errors, and build greater trust in your agency’s ability to handle evidence responsibly.
