Lightning Evidence Alphabet, 7 1/4"

Evidence Alphabet

Photo evidence letters are used in crime scene photographs to indicate where each piece of evidence is found. Usually two photographs are taken of each scene: one with photo evidence markers and one without. The markers are 7 1/4" x 4 1/2" heavy yellow plastic with a matte finish and black numbers. The A-frame style allows the numbers to nest for compact storage, with ridges on the edge of each marker to ensure that the numbers will not rub off when nested or stacked. The small letters in the corner are for close-up photography purposes.

Alphabet markers are sometimes used in combination with numbers or in a corner of the scene to indicate photographic sequence. Some agencies use letters instead of numbers for the actual scene photograph. These also have small letters in the corner for close-up purposes.
