breaking and entering, assaults, etc. Paint may be left as chips or smears on clothing,

The Physical Evidence Bulletin (PEB) is a guideline intended for law enforcement agencies
to follow in order to submit evidence to BFS Laboratories. Physical Evidence bulletins are
not intended to be used in lieu of training in the collection of evidence. Contact your local
laboratory and discuss the case prior to submitting the evidence.
