Gather evidence per case, uniquely distinguish evidence, obtain complete chain of custody, record evidence-specific characteristics, document who owns evidence, record the identity if available, ensure proper evidence collection, subject identification, preservation, contamination prevention, and security of the collected, print bar code labels to tag evidence, scan pre-printed bar codes on your collection kits, review and obtain statistic view of your collection work, document descriptive observation of case and evidence, submit evidence to request various types of examination, obtain receipt, continue chain of custody by transfer.

Starfruit Evidence Collector is a handheld computer with a wireless barcode printer. It is an evidence documenting tool for the crime scene investigators and evidence technicians.This tool mandates complete chain of custody, enables the record management on the evidence characteristics and collection history, describes the observation of crime scene and evidence, and provides step-by-step guidance protocols to ensure proper evidence collection, subject identification, preservation, contamination prevention, and security of the collected. The most critical feature is to assign, print, and scan bar codes to tag and identify evidence right on the spot at the crime scene.Bar-coded evidence then can be submitted to crime laboratories analysis by transferring the complete chain of custody and record management.The crime scene investigators and evidence technicians can now simplify the used-to-be-complicated and error-prone operation of evidence collection by assigning bar codes to identify evidence and scanning to submit bar-coded evidence for laboratory analysis. Starfruit Evidence Collector can be applied to law enforcement crime scene investigation, environmental forensics, bio-terrorism first respondent’s network, mass-disaster incidents, personal effect collection, etc.
