TABLE 127.2
FORENSIC EVIDENCE COLLECTION KIT
Use a standardized forensic evidence kit that meets the requirements of the
police jurisdiction in your location. The exact content of the kit may
vary based on the jurisdiction but in general most kits will include the
following items:
Container (box) in which most of the evidence will be placed
Form for obtaining authorization to collect and release evidence and
information to law enforcement
Checklists to guide history taking, physical examination, and specimen
collection
Evidence seals and biohazard labels
Form for documenting chain of custody
Labels for identifying information and evidence
Paper bags to hold clothing and other bulky items that do not fit in
container a
Envelopes or other containers for collection of debris, nail scrapings,
hair, etc.
Several cotton swabs for collection of specimens and glass slides b
Tubes or containers for collection of secretions
Buccal swabs and/or blood sample tubes for blood typing and DNA
analysis
Combs for scalp and/or pubic hair combings
Instrument for obtaining nail scrapings and/or cuttings
Gauze or swabs for saliva sample
Other items that may be needed but that are not necessarily in the kit
include:
Camera or colposcope system for photographic documentation
Alternate light source
Forensic swab dryer and rack
a Plastic
bags should not be used for evidence collection because they retain moisture which can lead
to degradation of evidence.
b Slides may be included if the forensic laboratory prefers that the swabs be made into slides at the
hospital. Other forensic laboratories may prefer that the swabs be placed in envelopes or containers
without slides being made.
