The Evidence/Property Management Module captures descriptive information about property that is introduced as Evidence or Held Property. This property can be associated with incidents, cases, offense, and other system modules. Unlimited multimedia files and documents (receipts, court documents, etc.) can be associated.
Property must exist in the Master Property Index for it to be introduced as evidence or held property. For information on Master Indices, refer to Master Indices Overview.
The evidence custodian is responsible for tracking evidence or held property after an officer has placed it in one of the temporary storage locations. The evidence custodian typically takes the property from the temporary location and places it in a more permanent location in the agency’s evidence or held property room. Every action taken with a piece of property can be tracked in the Online RMS Evidence/Property Management Module.
