Begin an iron-clad chain of custody at the crime scene

Our Crime Scene Module helps law enforcement agencies by facilitating the orderly collection of evidence at the physical crime scene. The automated system creates an iron-clad chain of custody for every item collected and entered.

Crime Scene Features:

• Save time and manpower with efficient, easy to use evidence management software.
• Creates an iron-clad unalterable chain of custody for each item collected, enabling you to track its progress from the crime scene to the courtroom.
• Easy audit and inventory reports on all items collected, enabling you to locate items quickly.
• Eliminate costly errors that can occur with manual item entry.
• Information at your fingertips - multiple queries and item reports at your fingertips
• Uses a secure independent portable system that does not require network access. This allows it to work from any Crime Scene without the potential of being compromised.

The configuration arms a detective, forensic analyst or crime scene investigator with:



• A laptop computer, for entering evidence collected at the crime scene
• Portable barcode printer, for printing on the spot labels of various sizes to quickly and effectively label every item collected.
• Blank labels, weather resistant labels used by the barcode printer.
• Laser or impact printer, for printing high resolution Crime Scene receipts and required reports.

As an item is collected by an officer, the item is bagged and tagged with a barcoded label and an entry is made into the Crime Scene computer. This data will later be transmitted to the ACE server and incorporated into the Chain of Custody records. The physical item can be delivered at a later time to the Evidence Room. In this case, the corresponding data will have already been uploaded to the ACE Database and will be available to ease data entry, saving time and man power. The process will also make the data available for query to produce valuable reports.
