Mission
The Evidence Control Unit (ECU) is the central point for the receipt and management
of evidence. ECU provides quality service to contributors of evidence
and acts as a liaison between contributing agencies and the FBI Laboratory
staff. As the central point for the administrative management of evidence,
ECU provides a single point of contact to contributors, who then track
and manage the submitted evidence from receipt to final disposition. This
direct point of contact allows contributors to discuss case issues regarding
the submission and examination of evidence, as well as to check the status
of the evidence and receive advice and guidance on packaging, transporting,
and storing evidence.
