securing evidence

there is very good reason why asking for a translation with only the information you have given (i.e. next to nothing except the term to translate) is not a good idea.

Without the exact sentence in which "securing evidence" has been used, there are two possible meanings:

you can "secure evidence" = make sure that get the evidence (get the drugs before dealers have the time to flush the drugs down the toilet, get the paperwork before it's been shredded, etc ...)

OR

you can "secure evidence" = make sure the evidence you have gathered is not going to be lost/misplaced/"disappeared", that it is going to be properly recorded and kept.

In this case you have a translation that is ambiguous in exactly the same way, but normally without at least a full sentence, you are asking for trouble / playing roulette - you may get the right translation - by pure chance.
