Security measures include thorough background checks for staff, controlled key and fob access, secure building materials, and strict visitor policies. Implementing multi-layered door security and comprehensive inventory checks during personnel changes are vital. Security cameras and alarm systems can enhance protection, and effective evidence management software is essential. Every evidence room requires tailored security strategies to guard against theft.

Inclement weather can create interesting challenges for crime scene photography. Whether we’re collecting physical evidence or digital evidence, we do not get to pick our crime scenes but rather our crime scenes pick us based on when they occur and the hours during which we are working.
