Police Departments & Custom Security Bags: A Perfect Pair

Police departments are not the first organization you would think of needing custom packaging. After all, they don’t sell products in the market. What could they possibly need custom plastic bags for? It turns out, custom plastic bags are quite crucial in police departments. Below we’ve outlined the types of custom plastic bags used by police officers, their benefits and how you can get them for your department.

Custody Bags: These are custom plastic bags used to hold suspects’ personal items while they are in custody. While generic chain of custody bags can be used, custom bags ensure that you gather all the information you need: suspect’s name, contact information, arresting officer, date and time arrested, item number, case number, the list goes on. Also, branding these bags with your department logo ensures that there is no confusion should the suspect be transferred to another facility.

Evidence Bags: Custom plastic bags help keep pieces of evidence safe and free from contamination. From the moment they are collected on the scene to the time the case is closed, evidence security bags safely house evidence. Tamper proof seals provided proof if anyone attempts to remove these items from their custom plastic bags. Other features to ask of your plastic bag manufacturer? Barcoding and built-in Alpha-Numeric Tracking systems. These elements allow you to organize and track evidence quickly and easily.

Security Bags: Though the two types of custom plastic bags above can be categorized as general security bags are also of use to police departments. From transferring cash to holding service weapons, security bags are endlessly useful to the police department. Work with your plastic bag manufacturer to create the size and type of security bags you need in your department.
