Government & Public Safety Storage Solutions

Providing government and public safety entities personal storage lockers, secure weapons storage, and high-density shelving from paper to evidence storage.

Police departments, law enforcement agencies, fire departments have a number of related goals.

This includes enforcing the law, protecting the lives of its community, and safeguarding property. In order to meet those goals, however, the organization of any department and its supplies is crucial.

But there are also other tangible benefits to keeping your facility efficient and organized—the morale of employees, the importance of a “home away from home” for officers by way of secure lockers for uniforms and gear, and a well-managed evidence room that leads to an unbreakable chain of custody—and the avoidance of a PR nightmare for a department.

Take a look at how we’ve worked with clients in Ontario to solve storage challenges within the public safety realm.

Officer Gear Storage Lockers

Officers have a safe, secure place for each piece of equipment they carry while out on the job—and when they return from their shift, their gear should still be kept safe.

Durable, configurable lockers can achieve this secure storage requirement.

A locker room isn’t just a place to store personnel items and gear—it’s a home away from home in many ways. Our personal storage lockers are infinitely configurable depending on the person using them, and when used in conjunction with a department’s locker room, they’ve actually been known to increase employee morale.
In addition to the many configurations these personal storage lockers offer, Spacesaver has worked with several departments across the United States on custom solutions within those lockers, such as in-locker ventilation systems, drying trays for bulletproof vests, two-tier locker banks to conserve space, indirect lighting solutions to assist with public safety LEED accreditation, and retractable locker benches tested to hold weight of 600 pounds.

Short-Term Evidence Storage

When dealing with evidence, protecting the chain of custody is the number one priority.

It needs to be tracked from the moment it’s retrieved to the moment it can be used for evidence or destroyed—and a secure, organized solution is paramount.

Temporary evidence lockers not only provide a secure evidence preservation and retrieval system—they also can assist with other important factors—helping your agency with accreditation and avoiding the PR situations that come with lost or misplaced evidence.
The lockers can be constructed to fit various shapes and sizes of evidence, and offer two options:
  • Pass-thru: Lockers are built into the wall, allowing evidence to be deposited from one side and retrieved from another via a full-size rear door. Optional front lock-out system available to prevent unauthorized access to the evidence and property room through a locker opening
  • Non-pass-thru: Evidence is deposited and retrieved from the same self-closing doors and can only be removed by authorized personnel

Long-Term Evidence Storage

Once your evidence is bagged and tagged, it needs to be stored safely—and in some cases, indefinitely.

Compact mobile storage can help maintain preservation while maximizing that precious space in your evidence room. In some cases, larger departments might need to increase their storage space in a designated off-site evidence storage facility. For these departments, can be utilized to extend storage from floor to ceiling.

Weapons Storage

Weapons need to be easily accessible when needed, and securely stored when not needed.

From secure weapons racks to portable gun boxes and wall-mounted weapons lockers to pistol racks, we work with you and the needs of your armory or weapons evidence storage to find the right solution.

filing

In the Public Safety sector, file storage is alive and well. Employee files, arrest warrants, and paperwork relating to a particular case all need to be stored safely and effectively. Installing a high-density mobile system allows department members to quickly retrieve files with the help of a powered control.. Security codes can be integrated with the system to provide an audit trail for who is accessing the files, ultimately providing an optimum level of security.

Corrections

Overcrowding at correctional facilities has made inmate property storage a more prominent challenge in recent years. Between lack of space, shuffling of property for court appearances and hearings, and visitations, items can easily become disorganized – or worse, misplaced. High density mobile shelving compacts your storage in the same storage footprint, allows quick, easy access, and can be optimized to store any size of inmate property bin.
