In what could be the most important implementation of the technology yet, three companies have announced interest in developing RFID tracking systems for criminal evidence. The leading players in this market to date include Intelligentz, based in Austin, Texas,  Lockwood Technology, based in Manchester, New Hampshire, and  Sysgen, based in Melville, New York.

The firms are using this automatic identification technology as a way to reinvent the evidence management and tracking process. With RFID-based systems, they can offer law enforcement agencies – for really the first time – the prospect of having an electronic, verifiable chain of custody for evidentiary items in criminal cases – vital for conducting criminal investigations and prosecutions in the CSI-influenced world of American justice. Such systems also hold forward the prospect of not just more effective evidence management internally within a single agency, but new possibilities for bringing visibility and connections to what have been heretofore the ultimate information silos – with each separate police department having its own, often non-computerized and accuracy-challenged – evidence tracking system in place.
