Completed SAP 83A forms do not guarantee destruction, since destruction requires lab possession and acceptance of exhibits before processing.
“Completing that SAP 83A does not guarantee you are getting to destroy...only when the lab has possession of your exhibits, that is when they accept an 83A.”
The destruction of seized narcotics is managed by the forensic science laboratory after an investigation or case docket is finalized in court, including an SAP83A document submission authorizing destruction.
“upon completion of an investigation or a case docket, if it is finalised in court, we submit a document back to the forensic science laboratory. It is called an SAP83A, where we indicate that the narcotics can be destroyed. The same applies to an enquiry investigation that is been closed, that there are no further leads. We also submit that SAP83A, and then it is up to the forensic science laboratory to destroy the narcotics that was seized”
