Overview

The Evidence Manager system was developed by the PERCS Index to provide immediate access to information and to maintain a chain-of-custody log on all items under Property Room control. This is achieved through the use of Windows technology, sophisticated database design and by using proven barcode technology. The increased efficiencies and tighter controls provided by Evidence Manager help to ensure the integrity of all evidence for prosecution and disposal purposes.

Barcode Technology

Barcode technology provides a rapid and simple method of data collection that is extremely accurate. Once a piece of evidence has been entered into the system, its movement can be controlled with a simple ‘point and shoot’ procedure.
Additional information such as Description, Officer # and Name, Date etc. are included on the label to further aid in the fast identification of the item. A signature field can also been included if required.

Chain of Custody

Evidence Manager controls all items of evidence and property coming into custody and records every movement of that evidence until final disposition or disposal. Signature bearing receipts can be easily created for an additional audit trail if required. Courtroom ready reports are also an integral part of Evidence Manager.
