Property Room / Evidence Management System

Perhaps one of the most critical and challenging aspects of case management is the collection, documentation and management of physical evidence. Lost evidence or questions surrounding the chain-of-custody can jeopardize a conviction. Conversely, the ability to compile, compare and analyze evidence data swiftly can greatly enhance an agency’s ability to resolve cases.

DSSI’s Property/Evidence System utilizes proven software technology and a fully integrated barcode system which enables a department to receive, document, track, manage and secure evidentiary items from the point of collection through the final disposition of the item.

A simple point-and-click bar-code process eliminates errors associated with manually checking evidence in and out. The system automatically “marries” the evidentiary item to its location, or to the authorized personnel currently in possession of the item.

At any time, authorized personnel can locate physical evidence along the chain of custody, or view a chain of command history of the item. This information is secured and is not shared with other modules in the ATIMS system.

The Property/Evidence reporting and data capture software enables the user to produce a myriad of electronically generated reports. The system also facilitates uploading of photos of physical evidence. Documentation and data can then be integrated and shared along the DSSI ATIMs network.
