INTRODUCTION
In Lesson 1, you learned that evidence was seized for the purpose of criminal prosecution. Great care to protect
the constitutional rights of a subject must be taken when seizing evidence. This is to ensure that evidence you
seize will be admitted into court. Seizure of the evidence is only the first step. Knowledge and skill in other
aspects of dealing with evidence is important. Careful handling and storage of evidence will ensure that it is
admitted into court.
In this lesson, you will learn the policies and procedures of--
o
Collection of evidence and contraband.
o
Storage of evidence and contraband.
o
Disposition of evidence and contraband.
