What is Digital Evidence Management?
Digital evidence management is a system for inputting, processing, storing, accessing, and analyzing information related to legal and criminal investigations. As Bob Galvin explains in his 2013 Police: The Law Enforcement Magazine article on the subject: “Managing evidence is one of law enforcement’s most critical tasks. Yet for thousands of police agencies, it’s overwhelming due to insufficient or no training, rotating personnel, low priority from administrators, and inadequate evidence tracking…Automating evidence management enables property room personnel to know where their evidence is and why.” Tracker is proud to help agencies optimize their operations to solve cases and bring justice to victims across the country.
