An evidence management system, such as ERIN7, will simplify and improve your department’s workflow and productivity. It also ensures the integrity of digital and physical evidence.

Many evidence tracking software systems you find available aren't much more than simple barcode and inventory control systems. ERIN7 provides automation and customization second to none, and includes an unbreakable chain of custody for both digital and physical evidence, facilitating communication between investigators and evidence room technicians, providing notifications, expediting the disposal process, and automates many accountability functions such as audits and inventories.

Ask yourself some of the following:

• How many items do you have in storage right now?
• How many items are scheduled for disposal right now?
• How many items have you disposed this year?

If you are having trouble answering these simple questions, chances are that you could use a new evidence management system.

All digital media, video, audio, pictures, and documents relating to evidence, requires a strong, unbreakable chain of custody just like your other physical items. Keeping all the digital media on DVD’s is a risk for these very important files. As most of us have observed, more digital evidence items are being generated and stored than physical items these days. ERIN7 will help you manage your physical and digital evidence!
