Five Disciplines. One Storage Partner. Storage Readiness. Storage Security. Storage Simplified.
Coroner’s Office
Law Enforcement
Corrections
Crime Labs
Fire Stations & EMS
Coroner’s Office Storage Every case that comes through a coroner’s office relies on samples, instruments, and records staying exactly where they belong, for as long as it takes. Patterson Pope’s storage systems keep it all identifiable, protected, and easy to retrieve, turning a demanding caseload into a manageable one. » Stainless Steel Cabinets: Standing up to formaldehyde and other harsh chemicals, these cabinets keep forensic tools and samples protected and contained. » Evidence Lockers: When a sample needs refrigeration or restricted access, evidence lockers step in with a documented chain of custody built right in. » High-Density Mobile Shelving: Whether it’s specimens, instruments, or supplies, this shelving lets storage keep growing without asking for more floor space.
Law Enforcement Storage Evidence, records, and gear all pass through a department at some point, and each one carries its own kind of risk if it’s stored wrong. The fix is storage built around how the department actually works, room by room, shift by shift. » Evidence Storage: Securing the chain of custody is non-negotiable, and pass-through lockers keep evidence accessible to authorized personnel only, whether it’s held for a day or a decade. » Weapons & Gear Storage: An armory only works if every weapon has an exact place to be. Wall mounted gun lockers and weapons racks keep every rifle and handgun secure until it’s needed. » Personal Storage: Officers need somewhere secure to leave everything behind at the end of a shift. Personal storage lockers give every uniform, weapon, and piece of gear a dedicated spot.
Corrections Storage A correctional facility doesn’t get to pick and choose what comes through the door, or how much of it. The facility needs storage built around intake, daily operations, and security, all at once, without asking for more square footage. » 4-Post Shelving: Inmate property comes in every shape and size, and 4-post shelving gives bulky or awkward items a stable, adjustable home. » Universal Weapons Rack: Inside the armory, rifles, handguns, and ammunition all stay stored securely on one system, built for transport without ever repacking. » Personal Storage Lockers: A locker room says as much about morale as it does about organization, and personal storage lockers give every officer a secure, dedicated space of their own.
Crime Lab Storage A crime lab’s work is only as strong as its evidence, and instruments, reagents, and case files all compete for the same bench space. That means storage built around the actual workflow: receiving, prepping, analyzing, documenting, and reviewing. » Workstations & Instruments: The work happens at the bench, not on a shelf. Modular casework and heavy-duty workstations keep instruments protected and within reach between uses. » Reference & Trace Evidence: A single case can generate slides, vials, and fibers by the dozen. Modular drawer cabinets give each one its own labeled compartment, so nothing gets lost. » Casework Records & Documentation: Case packets and quality records pile up fast, whether they’re pulled weekly or held for an audit. Rotary file cabinets keep them compact and easy to retrieve.
Fire Station & EMS Storage A call doesn’t wait for gear to be found or a bay to be cleared, whether it’s a fire department or an EMS crew responding. Storage here has to work the same way at 3 AM as it does at 3 PM, no matter who’s on shift. » Personal Storage & Bunkrooms: For the length of a shift, the station is home. Personal storage lockers give every crew member a secure, dedicated space that’s genuinely theirs. » Apparatus & Ambulance Bay: The bay is a traffic zone, not a warehouse. Fire hose racks and widespan shelving keep bulky equipment staged and out of the way until it’s needed. » Medical Supply & Narcotics: Knowing what got used, what’s low, and where the replacement lives keeps restocking fast, while defined, secure storage keeps controlled substances accounted for.
No Two Public Safety Storage Challenges Look the Same. We Solve Them Anyway. Public safety is a highly complex science. It’s also one that shares a singularly critical element: storage. But the vast array of storage challenges for any aspect of public safety ends here. From law enforcement agencies and crime labs, to correctional institutions and coroner’s offices, to fire departments and beyond, our storage systems—and the strategic thinking and planning that goes with them—are specifically designed to protect the integrity of evidence throughout the chain of custody, ensure weapons, gear, and medical supplies are always ready and secure, speed access to case files and records, and increase storage efficiency and security. Storage Readiness. Storage Security. Storage Simplified.
