The Asheville Police Department maintains extensive inventories of crime scene evidence. The proper collection, labeling, and tracking of evidence gives credence that the evidence presented in court is the same evidence that was collected at the crime scene. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology helps facilitate, standardize, and automate inventory and asset tracking tasks for law enforcement's management of evidence. The Asheville Police Department is looking to purchase an evidence management system that incorporates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to manage, track and transfer evidence within the agency as well as between personnel and outside agencies. Please describe in detail the following as it pertains to your proposed RFID evidence management system: ● How your system is designed including the hardware and software you use to operate it. ● What industry/industries the system is designed to support. ● How the system tracks inventory items. ● How the system tracks the chain of custody for each item. ● The RFID tag options that are available. ● The capabilities and limitations of those RFID tag options. ● How your system interacts with Central Square’s records management system. ● What other systems you are capable of interfacing with. ● The types of reports your system generates. ● The customization options of your system. ● Your installation, training, and support procedures.
