  • All submissions must be mailed by secure carrier or hand delivered to the ISPFS Meridian Laboratory.
    • Improperly sealed evidence shipped to the lab will be returned for remediation.
    • Improperly sealed evidence submitted in person must be corrected before acceptance.
  • Make advanced notice of urgent submissions to Sgt. Kessinger (208-884-7110) and the Meridian Lab (208-884-7170) so staff can facilitate quick transfer, direction, and evidence processing.
  • Any additional forensic science work needed on evidence (i.e., latent prints, DNA, etc.) must be documented on the pre-log form and communicated with ISPFS evidence staff upon submission. ISPFS will coordinate the processing order in conjunction with the submitting agency and ISP CCU.
