Designed for strength and durability, Stepping Plates are the best way to significantly reduce the threat of cross-contamination at the crime scene. With recent advances in Forensic Science, it is now possible to detect evidence which is not only extremely delicate, but also invisible to the naked eye, which presents many new opportunities to identify offenders, victims, modus operandi and other facts crucially important to the investigation. However, this fragile evidence can often be lost or destroyed during the course of a crime scene investigation. In addition, the smaller the evidence, the more likely it may be inadvertently missed or contaminated.
Each Stepping Plate has a transparent surface, which enables examiners to see potential evidence directly beneath the plate, so no evidence is missed. By using Stepping Plates, a pathway can be created through the scene, maximizing the opportunity to preserve and collect evidence. Scene examiners can demonstrate to the satisfaction of a court of law that professional standards have been followed in the prevention of cross-contamination. Replaceable rubber feet prevent damage to the crime scene environment and can be submitted for trace evidence collection.
