CSI's Evidence Module is one of the very first entirely browser based evidence tracking applications for the criminal justice agencies. This software is ideal for agencies that track evidence from the point of delivery by an officer until it is ordered to be destroyed. The module allows users to track evidence through the entire process and to print out all the necessary reports for internal or court purposes.

The Evidence Module was originally designed for use to track items in the evidence room. Over time, with the updates of multiple locations feature, the Evidence Module can be used by any agency needing to track the movement of items.
