Evidence Preservation Legislation

AURORA - A state lawmaker told a group of families of slain and missing people Thursday that the legislature would consider requiring law enforcement authorities to follow a standardized practice of preserving evidence.

Sen. Ken Gordon, D-Denver, said that the legislature would consider such a bill during its next session.

"We'll be looking at the preservation-of-evidence statutes because we want to make it workable," Gordon told members of Families of Homicide Victims and Missing Persons and metro-area law enforcement officers during a forum at the Aurora Public Library.
