Saving space and keeping evidence organized

The city of Tucson, Arizona, purchased a former distribution center and renovated it to create a state-of-the-art evidence storage facility.

Optimizing space was of concern throughout the building, and it was particularly crucial in the cold storage areas. Spacesaver provided mobile shelving systems for the facility’s refrigerator, which typically holds blood and urine samples from DUI cases, and in the freezer, which holds biological evidence from homicides and sexual assaults. The state of Arizona has no statute of limitations on these crimes, and evidence must be kept a minimum of 55 years.
