Part 3: Evidence Room Automation
In the contemporary evidence room, automated tracking can be scaled to meet the department’s needs. “There are systems out there,” says Joseph Latta, who is also CEO of Evidence Control Systems, Inc., Burbank, Calif., “but many are ‘add-ons’ to record management systems, and these are not effective property and evidence tracking systems.
“A dedicated evidence management system is needed.”
Just as national databases of biometric and DNA evidence and offenders speed up connecting crimes with criminals, automated tracking facilitates command and control in the evidence room.
“It’s not just tracking what’s needed for current cases,” Svaren says, “storage room space is finite, and when evidence sits long past its destruction date, it’s costing the department money.”
Overfilled evidence rooms are unusable, unsafe, and may even create workplace hazards. A proper destruction schedule replaces the need to build, acquire, or rent additional storage space.
