F3
The use of wood in the construction of the SUb-Station evidence/property lockers may potentially lead to the contamination, degradation, loss and/or destruction of evidence. Disagree The Sheriff's Office is not aware of any successful challenges to the evidence chain of command in the Sub-Station. The facility is access controlled as to who is allowed within the facility. Additionally, the lockers are in full view and monitored by dispatch via CCTV. Dispatch is staffed with Sheriff's Office employees 24 hours a day and the likelihood of an evidence locker breach is extremely unlikely. However, should funding become available in the future, the Sheriff's Office would consider remodeling of the lockers.
