A police or first responder locker room should not be a replica of a high school locker room. They are used with vastly different purposes. A first responder locker is built extra large to accommodate the specialized equipment and gear required. Depending on the provider selected there are options as big as 73 inches in height, depth of 24 inches and width options ranging from 18 to 36 inches. Required in such a specialized setting are lockers with the right storage choices, optional compartments and appropriate security. A three point latching system makes them the most secure in the industry. Lockers can have a built in butcher block bench with a pull out boot drawer beneath. This leaves the interior aisle free from tripping hazards so responders and officers can safely and quickly gear up.
In addition to personnel lockers we also can provide updated evidence lockers to meet your stations needs and preserve the integrity of evidence that is essential to the justice system. A case cannot be built on evidence if there hasn’t been a secure chain of custody. Short-term storage must be airtight, secure and able to handle a variety of evidence types. It also must meet the needs of the Department, a smaller station that doesn’t have an evidence technician may not need a pass through option. But having secure lockers in varying sizes with the ability to refrigerate temperature sensitive evidence, if necessary, is paramount to ensuring an airtight case against your suspect is preserved. Providing a small evidence locker area that officers can securely deposit evidence in after-hours, so as to avoid having to call in a technician, but still having the chain of command intact is something your department would benefit from.
Weapons lockers are another must have in a police station, no matter the size of your department. First you’ll want to examine your layout and spacing issues. We carry wall mounted and floor mounted weapons lockers. No matter the design you choose to ensure the condition of your gear, you’ll want a neoprene liner and heavy duty steel to prevent unauthorized entry.
