Guide to New Construction & Renovation

Storage is Central to Your Mission. Here’s Why:

Space for Future Needs

When a typical public safety building is constructed, it’s built to last anywhere from 20-50 years–so if you’re going to invest the time and money, make sure it’s going to work for you for decades to come.

Improve Morale in Workplace

The job of an officer is a stressful one and even in police departments, low morale is something that can creep up over time.

Assists with Accreditation

The benefits of CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement) and IAPE (International Association of Property & Evidence) are numerous–they help outline a clear management system that a department can follow to achieve greater accountability.

Temporary Evidence Storage

The mission of any police department or other law enforcement facility is to ensure that justice is served, and central to that mission is establishing and maintaining a secure chain of custody. That’s why Spacesaver is a trusted partner to police departments and other law enforcement agencies throughout North America. Our temporary evidence lockers are available in a wide range of configurations and locking options, and they’re engineered and manufactured in the USA. Learn more about how we can help you keep evidence organized and secure.

Long-term Evidence Storage

Long-term evidence storage tends to get out of hand — literally. We’ve consulted with departments that have lost weeks’ worth of staff hours looking for misplaced evidence or simply moving other evidence in an effort to get to the boxes they need.

The opportunity to build or renovate a facility is also a chance to build new, more effective evidence storage systems, and we’re here to help. From simple shelving to compact storage systems to high-bay shelving, we can help find a solution that’s right for your needs.

Personal Storage & Gear Bag Lockers

Officers’ shifts can be hectic, and that’s why we’ve designed our personal storage lockers and gear bag lockers to provide optimal organization and convenience. Featuring a wide variety of sizes and options, including configurable shelves, USB ports, benches and drawers, and more, Spacesaver lockers help keep officers’ gear organized and secure.
