Introducing – Tamara Sparks, Midwest Regional Sales Manager
We are excited to introduce Tamara Sparks as our Midwest Regional Sales Manager who will be covering the state of Missouri. Tamara has over 24 years of experience in law enforcement and retired at the rank of Lieutenant from the Johnson County Kansas Sheriff’s Office. Over the course of her distinguished career, she spent eight years assigned to the Johnson County Criminalistics Laboratory within the Crime Investigations Unit, where she earned certification as a Senior Crime Scene Analyst from the International Association for Identification (IAI).
Tamara was an active member of the Johnson County Officer Involved Investigation Team and contributed to numerous major homicide investigations in coordination with the Metropolitan Major Case Unit.
Tamara “jumped at the opportunity to train in 2005, when the KLETC (Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center) Regional Academy needed a new Crime Scene Class Instructor”. She then spent seven years there developing and teaching curriculum focused on evidence documentation, scene photography, and shooting reconstruction—areas in which she has a deep professional passion. Next, Tamara was able to teach crime scene photography and scene processing with a company out of New Jersey before they closed.
Training has become a real passion for Tamara, “I enjoy the interaction with class participants and opportunities to both teach and learn. My favorite thing is the “aha moment” when a concept is relatable or a technique works. My favorite thing after a class is hearing back from participants how they were able to apply what they learned in the field.”
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Grantham University, and she is a licensed Part 107 commercial drone pilot, actively expanding her skills in aerial imaging and search and rescue operations.
Tamara currently serves as the Director of Crime Scene Training for Lone Guardian LLC, where she provides specialized instruction and support to small and tribal law enforcement agencies.
She lives with her husband, horses and always growing pack of dogs in rural Cass county. Together, they enjoy wildlife photography and visiting National Parks. Trips to Ireland and Italy in the past few years have also been highlights.
Tamara’s favorite TV policewoman is Dexter’s sister, Debra Morgan. She says Debra “is tenacious, loyal and not afraid to voice her theories in the most colorful language.” L.A. Confidential is her favorite police movie. “The 1950s LAPD ethics story, Oscar winning cast and memorable characters make it a regular rewatch.”
Send Tamara an email or give her a call (913-206-5296) to discuss your agency’s investigation supplies needs and wants.
Introducing – Danny Smith, Midwest Regional Sales Manager
We are proud to introduce Danny Smith as our Midwest Regional Sales Manager who will be covering the state of Kansas. Danny has 26 years of law enforcement experience and has a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. He began his career with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, where he briefly worked in detention. Danny would then serve the next 24 years with the Mission Police Department where he worked as a patrol officer, law enforcement instructor, shift supervisor, crime scene processor and member of the investigations unit.
During his tenure in the investigation unit with the Mission PD, Danny actively participated in a county-wide Financial Abuse Special Team, focusing on crimes against dependent adults. He also served on a multidisciplinary child abuse team, working closely with healthcare providers, social workers, and prosecutors. He received specialized training in forensic child interviewing and has experience in exploitation and international human trafficking investigations.
Danny is a Computer Voice Stress Analysis (CVSA) examiner. He has participated in numerous multi-jurisdictional homicide investigations as a member of the Kansas City Metropolitan Metro Squad Major Case Unit and conducts background investigations.
Danny is a licensed Part 107 commercial drone pilot. He continues to develop skills related to search and rescue and other types of drone operations.
After retiring from Mission PD in September 2024, Danny knew he could take the skills and techniques he learned on the job as well as stay connected and continue learning. Currently, he serves as a reserve deputy and teaches courses in crime scene, criminal and background investigations for small and tribal agencies through Lone Guardian LLC.
In his spare time, Danny enjoys spending time with his wife of 27 years, Jessica, and their adult son and daughter. You might find them outside fishing, on a nature walk or at the lake. If the weather’s bad they may be found inside watching movies and sitcoms. Danny has a great sense of humor and says, “I am a huge fan of Reno 911, but I try to keep that out of my actual work.”
Send Danny an email or give him a call (913-238-1945) to discuss your agency’s investigation supplies needs and wants.
Tracker Deployed to Iran?
Tracker Deployed to Iran?
This video was written and produced by Doug Peavey, and in no way intentionally reflects the real world events occurring in the Middle East at this time. We formally apologize for any likeness to real world events described in this video, which was filmed before the June 22 events in the Middle East occurred.
Kajillions of IntegriSwabs have been made. It’s about to get bigger!
Long ago, before the issue of cross-contamination and DNA ever crossed our minds, the steam-sterilized IntegriSwab was developed by a California CSI.
It was made for simple, easy collection of blood and other “trace DNA evidence.” The little container has a little flip-cap, exposing a cotton swab. Push it through the opening, collect your sample, then retract and snap the cap. Small holes are designed for air-drying and the container is made of UV-resistant amber to eliminate damage to the DNA. Yeah, UV protection is kind of a big deal.
Competitive knock-offs have been developed and tried to circumvent our patents. You may have noticed they aren’t amber are they? Assuming they are made overseas, and with tariffs. Sources of their supply have all but dried up.
We have decided to go to the mats on this issue. Many of you have inadvertently been using these competing brands to chase down a few bucks. We get it. But we have decided to lower our price on these, to match their pricing so there is no reason not to switch back to the Lynn Peavey IntegriSwab brand. Never mind that competitors are quoting 20-30 weeks or more delivery!
50-packs of IntegriSwabs were $79.72, now they are only $47.50!
New lifting product makes perfect sense
Collection of ALL areas of friction ridge skin from known parties involved in a crime can be very helpful, is it not? Our new line of vinyl MAX Lifters will recover and preserve the MAXimum information possible with each lifter used.
Simply powder with Peavey Powder or ink the entire friction area that you want to lift. Peel away the liner at the split-back and place the adhesive side down, working the flexible vinyl across the entire surface…tips, sides and crevices. Then place your lift on a suitable transparent backing. (Sold separately)
Two sizes, #05772A 2’’ x 3.75’’ for fingers and #05773A 7’’ x 14’’ for palms, footprints or even shoeprints. Priced in packs of 100 for the small size, 25 for the larger. $19 and $25 for each.
Boxes are not all made the same.
Nor are the prices. People tell us all the time. We have the market cornered with our pricing! That makes us happy!
Bungee Guard is a better option
Ever stop to think about all that wasted plastic? BungeeGuard is a reusable option.
We know that old habits die slowly. But hey, we are the Lynn Peavey Company. We like bucking the trend if a better idea comes up.
Imagine this, up to 250’ of stretchable, nighttime reflective bungee cord protecting the perimeter of your crime scene. Once in place, you simply place the oversized, waterproof placards where you want with the attached Velcro. The bungee springs back just as you had it. You can even move crime scene trucks inside your perimeter if you need to.
Completely modular, quick-connect more sets as necessary.
Save the porpoises! Try BungeeGuard on a no-risk basis today! If you don’t think it was a good idea, call us and get your money back.
Includes 15 indestructible, customized 11 x 17 placards and streamers in a waterproof bag.
New Zipr-WeldMAX getting some strange, unheard of compliments
We do much more than evidence tape, but we probably do more evidence tape than all the competition combined.
At a recent conference, we were approached by several people. “WOW, what a difference!” “Now, with the MAX formula, it’s almost too tacky.”
Too tacky…or not nearly enough. We’ll opt for the former. We have said in our marketing, “The most secure evidence tape in the world!” People use it to protect their most valuable evidence and government secrets, so we have to make it as good as we can.
With free customization, colors, imprints, special widths, lengths, strips, split-back, we’ve got you covered…on evidence tape and labels.
Strip-N-Grip has a new edge design!
Used everywhere, probably trillions have been made. Why? Our .003mil plastic bags have the most aggressive tape seal going, bar none. Heavy-duty construction and available in several convenient sizes, 4 x 6, 6 x 9, 9 x 12 and 12 x 16 now featuring a security-enhancing edge design. Still the most competitive security option out there with quantity pricing! No need for evidence tape with these pouches.
Need a honking big size? We’ll make them. Minimums apply.

Flexible Barrier Tape
Flexible Barrier Tape is ideal for maintaining control. Now they are coming to you with no dispenser box. Simply take the roll out of the packaging and it’s ready to use! Just tie one end around a stationary item and unroll to outline the crime scene perimeter. Heavy-duty and flexible 3 inch wide polyethylene tape is bright yellow with bold black imprinted message.
2.5 mil tape comes in a 1000 ft. roll. Choose from POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS, SHERIFF’S LINE DO NOT CROSS or CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS.
Powder in the Ruff
What’s that sweet smell? Cinnamon? Vanilla? Not even Tracker with his super-sensitive nose can detect the scent of “regular” fingerprint powder. But he gets all excited when he is around Powder in the Ruff.
Our powder has a scented tracer, not necessarily for Tracker, but for your CSI fingerprint techs in the field. More natural formula, less expensive and more contrast and sensitivity. Why wouldn’t you use our powder?
If you aren’t a user, try ordering some next time. If it doesn’t work, give us a call and we’ll give you your money back.
Why not our fingerprint brushes?
They are still made one at a time, by us, in the USA by American workers, with American families to feed.
We probably currently sell a billion of them, but we would love to sell two billion of them. Our Fiber Dusters and Feather Dusters are the best made brush in the world. Why? Not just the American stuff. Because the filaments have been treated to reduce the amount of friction on the evidence surface by up to 40% AND they have all been treated to repel water and moisture.
As usual, each come with a money-back guarantee!
