The BPD Crime Lab Team would outfit a van to install shelving, drawers, racks and work space cabinets. Additionally, the van will need to be outfitted with some of the small tools and equipment which could include: seating, computer/technology equipment for data collection and analysis, specialized equipment to prevent contamination and to preserve evidence, and supplies.
