Foundation Funds Critical Equipment to Enhance Evidence Processing Safety

The Bellevue Police Foundation recently awarded the Bellevue Police Department a $6,000 grant to purchase a Mystaire Isola Edge 48-inch workstation, a vital piece of equipment that significantly enhances safety and efficiency in evidence processing.

This advanced containment workstation is designed to protect forensic technicians as they examine and handle potentially hazardous materials, including narcotics, chemical residues, and biological evidence. The Mystaire system features high-efficiency filtration and airflow technology that removes harmful particles and vapors, creating a clean, controlled environment that meets professional laboratory safety standards.

By improving air quality and containment, the Isola workstation not only safeguards personnel but also preserves the integrity of critical evidence, ensuring that investigations are handled with the highest level of precision and care. This latest investment builds on the Foundation’s ongoing support for forensic operations, including funding for specialized laboratory equipment, protective gear, and technology upgrades that help investigators work safely and efficiently. Together, these tools strengthen the department’s ability to deliver accurate, reliable results that stand up in court.

The Bellevue Police Foundation remains committed to funding advanced equipment and technology that go beyond the city’s budget—empowering the Bellevue Police Department to maintain excellence in safety, science, and service.
