Crime Scene Barricade Stand System

Product Description

PRODUCT CODE: OSS-4010A

In forensic science and crime scene management, this system is formally classified as a Portable Crime Scene Perimeter Cordoning and Stabilization System, serving as an essential tool for establishing both physical and psychological boundaries that protect physical evidence. Functioning as the initial physical barrier that defines the Cold Zone, or outer perimeter, it restricts access by unauthorized personnel, media, and the public, preventing the destruction of transient evidence. By securing the boundary, it also maintains scene integrity by preventing cross-contamination from secondary transfer vectors such as footwear impressions or fiber transfer from onlookers.

Supplied as a set of 4 to 5 portable cordoning posts complete with a heavy-duty, water-resistant canvas transport bag, each post measures 4 feet in height with a 1.5-inch outer diameter. The shaft is constructed from UV-stabilized structural ABS or powder-coated steel, finished in high-visibility fluorescent yellow or orange, and enhanced with microprismatic reflective strips and alternating black-and-yellow high-contrast helical hazard bands for immediate visual recognition under ambient lighting, night-time conditions, and flash photography. Functioning as an adjustable, friction-lock telescopic stanchion mounted on a collapsible tripod base, each post allows investigators to fine-tune cordon height according to terrain, wind conditions, or spatial requirements. At its apex, a flat-plate T-bar termination provides a specialized anchor point for rapid, knot-free anchoring, tensioning, and routing of the barrier ribbon, while molded retention slots along the shaft securely hold standard 3-inch barricade tape without knotting or sagging. The same apex integrates a steel and magnetic mounting plate designed to hold a rechargeable LED signaling beacon for enhanced night-time visibility.

The system installs across all terrains through a dual-anchoring design: an integrated 8- to 9-inch heavy-duty steel ground spike with a welded foot-press plate for soil, mud, and gravel surfaces, paired with a detachable heavy-duty base adapter for secure mounting on asphalt and concrete. When paired with the cordon medium - a static-charge, high-tensile yellow polythene ribbon pre-printed with the standard restrictive warning "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS”, “CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS” - the system delivers a weatherproof, clearly delineated legal boundary for the secured area, suited for multi-terrain outer and inner scene cordoning across soil, mud, gravel, asphalt, and concrete surfaces.
