  • Method of collecting crime scene evidence
    Patent number: 6925896
    Abstract: A method for recovering evidence from the footwear of a crime scene investigator is provided, comprising placing an adhesive evidence recovery sheet at an entryway to a crime scene, causing the crime scene investigator to step thereon upon exiting the crime scene, and covering the evidence recovery sheet with a protective cover. In this manner, evidence inadvertently adhering to the footwear of the investigator is removed and preserved for further analysis. In accordance with the method of this invention, a device for recovering evidence from the footwear of an investigator is provided, comprising an adhesive evidence recovery sheet and a protective cover. Adhesive strips on an obverse surface of the evidence recovery sheet prevent inadvertent dislodgement of the sheet from the floor surface on which it is placed.
