Test Purchase Evidence Coordinator

The Evidence Storage Technician receives, logs, stores and releases test purchases and other evidence gathered by our investigators, so every item keeps an unbroken chain of custody and stands up in civil or criminal proceedings for clients.

• Receive test purchases from field investigators, couriers and online-order deliveries; check seals, packaging, receipts and purchase paperwork before accepting.
• Photograph each item and its packaging on arrival, record its condition, and log it with an exhibit reference, client reference, case number and storage location.
• Match each item to its purchase record (date, seller, store address or URL, price, payment method, investigator) and flag any gaps.
• Record every movement of an exhibit, with date, time, names and purpose, so the continuity record has no breaks.

• Store exhibits sealed and labelled, segregated by client and case so material never mixes.
