Police1 Reviews the Charge Preserve Evidence Bag

In a recent Police1.com review, veteran officer and forensic expert Joshua Lee called the Mission Darkness™ Charge Preserve Evidence Bag a “paradigm shift” in how law enforcement handles digital evidence.

That’s not hyperbole.

For years, officers have had to choose between preserving DNA and preserving digital evidence. Traditional workflows made it nearly impossible to do both—without risking contamination, data lockout, or damaging expensive Faraday gear.

The Charge Preserve Evidence Bag changes that.

Power + Preservation in One Step

Unlike standard evidence bags, this bag allows investigators to charge a device while it remains hermetically sealed.

That means:

  • No cutting holes for cables
  • No risking chain-of-custody gaps
  • No cross-contaminating expensive Faraday gear
  • No draining batteries that trigger encryption or data loss

Joshua Lee summed it up perfectly:

“Balancing charging power needs with biological preservation seemed impossible. The Charge Preserve Evidence Bag isn’t just another gadget — it’s a paradigm shift.”

Built for the Field, Backed by Labs

Every Charge Preserve Evidence Bag is:

  • Pre-wired with UL-certified USB tips (Lightning, USB-C, or Micro)

  • Airtight and tamper-evident to prevent contamination

  • Clearly printed with chain-of-custody fields

  • Compatible with our Charge & Shield Faraday Bags for added RF isolation

Investigators can plug directly into a battery pack or forensic extraction tool without opening the bag—saving time and preserving data integrity.

Connect to the Full Evidence Management System

The Charge Preserve Bag is part of a broader system of field-proven tools designed for digital forensics teams, including:

Charge Preserve Evidence Bag
Sold in packs of 10. Available with USB-C, Micro-USB, or Lightning tips.

Charge Preserve Accessory Kit
Swabs, gloves, and supplies for collecting physical DNA from seized phones.

Vigilant Volt Forensic Power Banks
Maintain power after seizure to avoid lockouts.

Charge & Shield Faraday Bag
Combine RF shielding with power delivery.

Real-World Use: Chain-of-Custody Without Compromise

As Lee points out in his review:

“One of the easiest ways to derail a prosecution is chain-of-custody issues. This bag helps eliminate that risk.”

Officers can fill out case details on the bag on-site, plug in a power bank, and move on—knowing that both the digital and physical evidence is secured.

Multiple bags can even be stored in one Faraday duffle or backpack without fear of contamination.
