Preserving the crime scene is one of the basic tenets of crime scene investigation. But it is extremely difficult to preserve, protect and investigate all at the same time. The problem investigators have is how to avoid disturbing and/or destroying physical evidence while processing the crime scene. The answer are the Crime Scene Stepping Pads from Sirchie. Each kit includes 10 heavy-gauge (0.090 thick) aluminum allow stepping pads neatly stacked in a heavy-duty, molded carrying case for instant use. They are ideal for deployment on any flat surface whether it is wood, carpet, ceramic or vinyl tile. An extremely small footprint of 2.5 sq. inches per pad is afforded with the six points at which the stepping pads touch the floor.

Crime Scene stepping pads boast two important safety features. First, are the non-slip friction pads installed on the feet to assure steadfast placement and prevent surface damage. Secondly, each pad is machine-stamped with 131 traction protrusions to facilitate a non-slip surface which is especially beneficial if you're wearing shoe/boot covers.
