Today's television shows about cold cases, crime scene investigation, and forensics have caused an increase in the public's perception and expectations of evidence management. As a result, there is a pressing need for law enforcement agencies to implement modern solutions to ensure the security and integrity of evidence from the crime scene to the courtroom.
FileOnQ, Inc. provides agencies with these guarantees through a 100% customizable software solution: EvidenceOnQ. Agencies at the local, state, and federal levels have successfully implemented the system to manage evidence and officer equipment, assets, crime scenes, fleet, and more. They discovered it was much more than a software system. It provided the tools they needed to work together and increase efficiencies throughout their entire jurisdiction. Our evidence application benefits:
Investigators
Hand-written evidence documentation should be a thing of the past and replaced with an automated, intuitive system that is customizable to meet the needs of each agency. Evidence collected at crime scenes should be immediately entered into the system electronically, creating an automated chain of custody that starts at the crime scene. This sets the stage for a successful investigation and prosecution.
Prosecutors
With ever-increasing caseloads, prosecutors need time-saving tools to help them manage their cases. Technology today enables them to access evidence information from a Web connection; they can print the chain of custody, view photos, play audio and video recordings, read lab reports, and submit requests and authorizations. This eliminates phone calls and requests for information and time-consuming trips to the property room to view the evidence.
Courts
Evidence brought to the court must have inherent integrity, professionalism, and security. It must have a solid, unalterable chain of custody with multiple levels of security. Once admitted as a court exhibit, the chain of custody should continue on while in the custody of the courts and throughout the appellate process.
Public
The public has never been more critical of the criminal justice system and evidence management. DNA is solving decades-old cases that provide long-awaited justice, and convicted people are being proven innocent as well. However, law enforcement agencies have been successfully sued because the evidence was mismanaged, stalling their exoneration for many years. Agencies must understand the importance of managing incoming evidence and evidence they have had for decades.

Don't just track your evidence, Manage it.
Providing complete barcode Property and Evidence Management systems. ACE Serves the largest metro departments; as well as a basic yet complete ACE Express barcode system design to meet the needs of rural departments. Each provides an unalterable chain of custody, audit and tracking features. ACE meets your department needs and provide the system you want.
ACE is designed to efficiently catalog warehouse inventory and to track the flow of property through the law enforcement system. Whether it is evidence gathered at the crime scene, or property submitted at the precinct's front desk, ACE is the best tool for recording vital property information, documenting property movement, transactions, and most importantly, retaining control of the property from initial reception to final disposition in accordance with local statutes and ordinances. Using the latest in barcode scanner technology and software you can easily track and record all items from collection to final disposition.
As a state of the art law enforcement program, ACE mirrors the style of operation that exists in a manually controlled environment consolidating multiple functions within an interdependent network to provide a standardized, fail-safe method of operation and control. ACE reduces human error by acting as a guide through the maze of regulations applicable throughout the evidence management process.
Complex procedures such as weapon and controlled substance destruction are monitored closely to ensure compliance and deter internal corruption. ACE also includes a complete accounting of all monies received and dispersed along with immediate audit reports.
There are several modules built into ACE, and additional add-ons available, that allow you to track other aspects of evidence management such as Accounting, Media Attachments and an Auction feature to name a few. View the module list to learn more about each feature
Another advantage of ACE over a manual system is its ability not only to record information vital to each case, but to also document all transactions that occur relative to that case ... right down to the item level. Such recordkeeping is the cornerstone of the highly sophisticated ACE system. Since tracking an item is essential for successful criminal prosecution as well as inventory control, relying on a log book alone or an archaic filing system is risky at best. Without ACE, failure to demonstrate an airtight chain of custody can leave the property bureau vulnerable to allegations of mismanagement. ACE does all the work for you, automatically and quickly, by compiling a comprehensive item history report that can be delivered directly into the hands of the prosecutor.
