How it works

From forensic hit to investigative action in three steps

The three-word cadence behind the product — every hit tracked from the lab bench to a documented response.

Step 01

Notify

Lab scientists register a new hit from CODIS, NIBIN, or another data source in minutes. The assigned detective is notified instantly by email or SMS.

Step 02

Update

Investigators respond through a secure, password-less form using your agency's case statuses — every update logged in the case console.

Step 03

Escalate

No response? Forensic Tracker escalates automatically on the schedule you set, so every hit reaches its logical conclusion.

Who benefits

Value across the justice system

Justice delayed is justice denied. As criminal justice agencies struggle with resource constraints, high caseloads, and systemic inefficiencies, Forensic Tracker simplifies evidence notification and tracking, reduces administrative burdens, and fosters transparency throughout the justice process — for every stakeholder in the system.
