| Joseph’s qualifications related to
Evidence Room Management and Auditing Services stem from both public and
private sector experiences. Prior to entering law enforcement in
1968, Joseph spent seven years in the grocery business, where he was introduced
to warehousing, inventory control and facility management. As a Police
Sergeant, he was given an Evidence Unit assignment in 1980 with the direction
to “make it right!”. Twenty-two years of Evidence Room oversight
as a Sergeant and Lieutenant have expanded his experience and knowledge
of the field tremendously.
Joseph’s formal education includes a
Master’s degree in Public Administration from Cal State Northridge, the
FBI National Academy (Class 146) and graduation in 1993 from California’s
P.O.S.T. Command College, where his independent study project topic was
“How Will Property and Evidence Be Managed By the Year 2003?”
Joseph is currently the primary instructor
for the International Association for Property
and Evidence (IAPE), where he has instructed over 12,000 law enforcement
professionals in the various concepts and standards of property and evidence
management.
Joseph was an advisor for the California
Association of Property and Evidence on their previously released “Property
Manual”, participated in the development of the California’s P.O.S.T. -
Law Enforcement Property and Evidence Management Guide 2001 and has authored
two books on the management of Evidence Units.

(IACP), San Jose State University, Cal Poly Pomona, California Peace Officer
