All RISCL cases, routine or priority, are to be submitted and/or retrieved BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please call 401-874-5227 (874-LABS) to schedule an appointment to drop off or pick up evidence.

All evidence to be submitted to the RISCL must be processed through the Prelog Web Portal. If necessary, please review the Prelog instructions before submitting evidence. If you need any assistance with Prelog or to obtain a username and password, contact Amy Duhaime at 874-4114 or asduhaime@uri.edu

All submissions of exhibits must be connected to a criminal investigation. No evidence will be analyzed for private individuals or corporations. At this time, the RISCL does not accept any evidence by email submission. The officer/submitting agency must take care to ensure that the evidence will not be lost, damaged, or contaminated and that the chain of custody will be as short as possible. It is equally important to recognize and observe that proper safety precautions have been used at all times not only in the collection of evidence but also when submitting evidence to the RISCL.

The Evidence Submission Evidence Submission Manual and Prelog User Guide describes the general requirements for submitting evidence to the laboratory. Additional special instructions will be given in each service area. Please refer to these instructions before submitting any evidence.
