See also the instructional videos on "Evidence Collection"
The objective of this Guide is to make practical information concerning how the Alaska Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory can assist in criminal investigations, and procedures for the collection, preservation, and submission of physical evidence, available to law enforcement personnel.
While every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy, it is inevitable that with time some changes will occur. It is, therefore, recommended that the user of this Guide keep abreast of those changes.
The Guide is not intended to cover all situations or to supersede agency policies or procedures. The Laboratory intends to make periodic updates and changes to this Guide as new methods are developed.
Should any questions arise, individuals are encouraged to contact the Laboratory.
It is the hope of the Laboratory that this Guide will promote the maximum use of physical evidence and encourage greater use of the services of the Laboratory.
