FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our training and services
What kind of project or client isn't a good fit?
Not a good fit: you want only a software recommendation or sales pitch; you're outside law enforcement/legal/evidence; or you want a report with no follow-up or team commitment. Also not a fit: a quick one-off fix with no interest in sustainable process. If that doesn't describe you, get in touch.
Do you provide expert witness services for attorneys?
Yes. Civil litigation—consultation, research, written opinion, testimony—particularly evidence management, chain of custody, and post-conviction exoneration. I've worked on behalf of exonerees and am an advocate for The Innocence Project. Attorneys: get in touch to discuss.
What's the first step when we want to hire you for a project?
Get in touch. We'll schedule a fact-finding conversation; I'll outline scope, timeline, and next steps. No obligation.
Do you conduct evidence room audits or inventories?
Yes. On-site audits and inventories to assess compliance, identify gaps, and recommend improvements. Full inventories, targeted reviews, and written findings with actionable recommendations.
Do you develop or review policies and procedures?
Yes. Evidence management policies and procedures—intake, chain of custody, storage, disposition, audits. Tailored to your agency's size and systems. Often paired with training or an assessment.
Can you help us optimize our existing evidence room?
Yes. I assess your current setup and recommend improvements. Many agencies need better use of what they have, not a new building. We can talk through what's possible.
Can you help us design a new evidence facility?
Yes. I've worked with agencies on property room design—layout, workflow, storage, security, compliance. Get in touch to discuss your project.
What consulting services do you offer?
Facility design and optimization, policy and procedure development, assessments and audits, inventories, relocation planning and execution, and training for evidence personnel and leadership. First step: a conversation to match services to your needs.
How long does a typical consulting project take?
It depends on scope. A facility assessment might be a defined visit plus follow-up; a full design or relocation has a longer timeline. I'll give you a ballpark and clear process when we talk.
What does working with you look like?
We start with a fact-finding conversation so I understand your needs—facility design, optimization, policy development, assessment, or audit. We agree on scope and next steps; you know what to expect and when.
How much do you charge for targeted consultations? What's your hourly rate?
I'm happy to share my rate and how we'd structure the call once you get in touch.
What if I have a specific question I have nobody to ask? Can I book a short consultation?
Yes. I offer targeted consultations: you send your question(s) ahead of time, and we schedule a short, focused call (usually online, 30–60 min) for direct, agency-specific answers. Get in touch and describe what you're trying to solve.
Evidence management that works in the real world
Agencies don't need theory. They need solutions that come from the field. Shannon Turner's methods have been tested across hundreds of agencies of various sizes, and thousands of evidence professionals. The results speak for themselves.
