The National Institute of Standards and Technology, in collaboration with the National Institute of Justice, is in the process of developing best practices for the management of physical evidence in our criminal justice system. In order to engage stakeholders, inform recommendations, identify knowledge gaps, and develop educational opportunities, we must hear from those who manage property and evidence directly. The Evidence Management Survey is an important tool to obtain this information and will be used to increase awareness about strengths and challenges in the evidence management industry.
If you or anyone in your organization handles physical evidence, please fill out the survey below.
Your participation in this survey is critical to shaping industry best practices. Please encourage as many people as possible from your agency or others that you are aware of that handle evidence outside of your agency to complete the survey. All those who handle or manage property and evidence are eligible to participate including members of law enforcement, public and private forensic laboratories, hospitals, forensic clinicians, courts, medical examiners/coroners, and policymakers who recommend standards, rules, and laws regarding evidence management.
