Law enforcement is tasked with uncovering clues that are left behind within the
crime scene as well as discovering evidence linking an individual to the criminal act.
However, the process of validating their findings is through the scientifically proven
methods of forensics processes. For example, capturing and/or recovering information
within computer systems, blood splatter and DNA analysis, including that of ballistics
examinations require a facility of differentiating tools and equipment in which forensics
technicians need to facilitate their discoveries. To aid in accomplishing this formidable
undertaking, a well-equipped facility and knowledgeable technicians are key factors to
securing collected evidence and the unoccupied shed is a perfect candidate for the lab
development (GABEL, 2014, pp. 283-289)
The constructed design of the forensics lab, in this case the shed, must be
furnished with physical security implementations. For example, exterior mounted
security cameras for monitoring locality activities as well as useful authentication
devices at every entry point.1 Such protective devices will ensure the integrity of the
structure itself, provide a two layer protective measure for the content within including
the collected evidence, as well as authorize technicians and monitoring their actions
during the investigational process (BOREL, 2013, pp. 38-45).
Forensics investigations often range in material analysis observations; however,
hardware and software are also incorporated within the evaluation process. Therefore,
equipment needed shall be implemented for that specified investigation. For example,
this lab may benefit from a DNA sequencer, ballistics photography, to that of alternative
