Gun Shot Residue Test Kit

 

Kit allows officers to test a suspect’s hands in the field for gun shot residue.

Narcotics Field Test Kit

 

Officers can test narcotics on the street using testing kits. The pouch above (appr. 2″w x 3″h) is used for testing cocaine. A small sample (a pinch) is placed inside the plastic pouch. The pouch is closed (zip lock) and then each of the three glass ampules are broken in sequence. If the sample turns solid blue it is indeed cocaine. The results are instantaneous. Kits available for all drugs. Indicator colors vary for different drugs. For example, marijuana turns the solution a yellowish-brown.

(Note – color changes and containers vary depending upon the manufacturer).
