When analyzing a lock post-breach, it’s crucial to preserve the evidence intact. Last week, I encountered a case where improper handling compromised the entire analysis. Even the smallest detail, like a scratch on the keyway, can tell a significant story about the entry method used. How do you guys ensure your evidence remains pristine during such cases?
Evidence integrity is everything in our line of work. I always label and seal the tools and locks right after the initial examination to avoid any mishaps. As you pointed out, even a small scratch can reveal a lot — what particular methods do you find most effective for documenting your findings?
I totally agree — seeing my progress keeps me motivated. I like to take photos along the way, especially since it highlights changes that numbers sometimes don’t capture. Have you ever tried that to track your own results?
