LEID the North Andover Police Department
Property and evidence control and tracking causes enormous concerns in law enforcement. The process for tracking evidence has typically consisted of manually filling out property forms, which may lead to errors and inconsistent chain of custody records. One company helping to improve this process is LEID Products (http://www.leidproducts.com/
The ID Station is also interfaced to LEID’s Electronic Evidence Lockers providing the secure temporary storage of evidence going into and out of police department property rooms. The system includes complete Chain of Custody custom software to track, monitor and report all evidence transfers. Additional layers of security can be added with options including: hand geometry scanner, ID card reader, RFID evidence reader, and evidence barcode reader. With this system in place, officers can drop off and pick up evidence for trials without having to track down the evidence officer for court. This saves both time and resources.
LEID Products will showcase its groundbreaking BACS Evidence Management System at the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (http://www.calea.org/
One police department that no longer uses a manual process for evidence tracking is the North Andover Police. “The North Andover Police Department is very happy with how easy the BACS Evidence System is to use,” said Chief of Police, Paul J. Gallagher. “All of our officers agree that the system makes their jobs easier. Dropping off evidence is a much faster process than ever before, and chain of custody has been significantly improved.” Evidence tracking is ensured through the BACS system and officers are no longer wasting time tracking down detectives in order to access the evidence room. Beyond tighter chain of custody and time savings, the department now has top of the line reporting features for administrators.
