Processing - Evidence
1. Submitting Evidence
All evidence must be submitted at the Evidence Collection point located on Floor -2.
The collecting officer will:
Place the evidence into the evidence locker.
Create a separate Evidence Report.
Link the Evidence Report to the main case or incident report.
Attach all relevant gallery items to the report.
All evidence must be properly documented before the submission process is considered complete.
2. Weapon Handling
All weapons submitted as evidence must be placed inside an evidence bag.
Use an empty evidence bag to select and store the weapon.
No weapon is to be submitted without being properly bagged.
3. Evidence Photography & Image Upload
When using the camera:
Images stored on SD cards will automatically upload.
Ensure Image Upload is set to: SA_NSS/General/
The storage location can be changed by pressing “E” while the camera is equipped.
Uploaded photos will automatically sync to the designated cloud storage location depending on the selected setting.
Copying Image URLs
Do not use the Discord-hosted URL as these expire.
4. SD Card Procedures
A single SD card must be used per incident.
Once all evidence photos are taken, eject the SD card via the camera menu.
Rename the SD card using the incident number (e.g., 514).
Place the SD card into the evidence drawer that corresponds with the incident number.
All digital evidence for that incident must be stored on the same SD card.
5. Evidence Storage & Incident Linking
All evidence related to an incident must be placed into the corresponding evidence drawer.
Any evidence placed into the stash locker will automatically be added to the linked incident.
To examine evidence further or copy evidence information:
Ensure the incident report has been saved.
Right-click the evidence item.
Select the appropriate option (Examine or Copy Information).

Evidence is properly collected.
Evidence is correctly bagged and labeled.
Reports are accurately linked.
Digital files are stored in the correct cloud location.
