Evidence Lifecycle Management from Intake to Disposition
SAFE powered by Tracker Products gives law enforcement agencies one platform to document, track, and manage the evidence lifecycle from intake to disposition while protecting chain of custody integrity at every transfer.
Manage the Evidence Lifecycle at Every Stage
Simplify each step of evidence handling and tracking, from evidence intake to disposition, with tools built to reduce errors, save time, and strengthen accountability across your agency.
Chain of Custody and Evidence Transfer Management
- Digital signature capture during evidence transfers
- Documentation from evidence intake through disposition
- Court-admissible chain of custody records
- Mobile and desktop access to evidence transfer history
Evidence Intake and Processing
- Barcode generation and scanning at evidence intake
- Customizable evidence categories and custom fields
- Photo documentation with automatic metadata capture
- Batch processing for multiple items at intake
Evidence Storage and Location Management

Case Management Integration with Evidence Tracking
- Connect evidence to related cases
- Track evidence by case status
- Link related items across multiple cases
- Simplified court preparation with chain of custody records
Evidence Disposition and Release
The final stage closes out each item with its full history intact, so every release or destruction holds up to review.
- Items reach disposition with their complete chain of custody attached.
- Case status updates flag items that are ready for review.
- Released and destroyed items stay searchable in the audit trail.
SAFE can flag, route, and document these items for you. See how our automated disposition software clears evidence room backlogs.
