In this episode, the host concludes the series on Pad Tracks and explains how she discovered the platform and what it is all about.
Proper handling and management of evidence are crucial in law enforcement to avoid human errors, ensure fairness in the judicial system, and prevent corruption. Negligence or malfeasance in the evidence room can compromise cases and lead to wrongful convictions.
The podcast discusses the challenges of managing and securing evidence manually, and the implementation of software solutions to overcome these issues through optimization in tracking and locating evidence.
The individuals in charge of collecting evidence in law enforcement are often experienced officers who are relegated to desk duty or near retirement. However, with the complex infrastructure of law enforcement agencies, it is unlikely that evidence collected will be tampered with before it reaches the vault or court system.
By utilizing a system that generates tags and database records, the chain of custody in handling evidence is greatly strengthened, providing an added layer of accountability and verification.
The speaker explains about an Evidence Tracking System, which monitors the flow of evidence coming in and going out of evidence departments using sensors and alerts the evidence department, in case any item goes out unattended, within 15 seconds.
The implementation of a fully tracked evidence bag system can minimize cases of malfeasance, human error, and loss of cases due to embarrassment. This system can keep track of the bag and its contents from the time it leaves the scene to when it gets to the crime lab.
The speaker discusses the importance of spreading knowledge about forensic science, particularly to those who handle evidence, and emphasizes the need to add a personal touch when discussing it.
A new hire was promised high-quality equipment and training even though the pay may not be the best. The Sheriff's Association is interested in the work being done by the employee Sam.
The cost of implementing a surveillance system in law enforcement is a common concern for departments, with some assuming there is no other solution available.
The hosts discuss the significance of evidence in true crime and criticize the outdated methods being employed by some law enforcement organizations.
The host discusses the significance of properly managing evidence in the criminal justice system, emphasizing the real-life consequences of errors and mishandling. They plan to showcase stories of how such mistakes can affect everyday people and the importance of understanding the issues and fixing them.
The speaker suggests using resources like Excel and attending conferences to learn about property and evidence management, in order to save time, money, and manpower spent on managing and properly handling evidence.
The speaker is optimistic that COVID-19 restrictions on grand juries will be lifted and law enforcement professionals will be able to resume their work.
