Specialized Software Solutions for Crime Scene Management, Evidence Collection, and Forensic Analysis
Revolutionize All Stages of Your Investigation Process.
Capture. Standardize. Investigate.
Managing forensic evidence is a highly sensitive task that requires strict protocols to ensure the integrity of the evidence and maintain an unbroken chain of custody. By implementing best practices and using advanced forensic evidence management systems like the Forensic Suite solutions, law enforcement agencies can significantly reduce the risk of human error, ensure the chain of custody is always intact, and maintain the trust of the legal system and public.
Mix and match ANY FileOnQ Platform solution.
Collecting and documenting evidence from crime scenes can be complex, overwhelming, and time-consuming. Investigators consistently struggle to process and document crime scenes effectively and efficiently, which may result in incomplete investigations and poorly documented findings and reports.
The FileOnQ Forensic Suite was created to help ALL stakeholders overcome those struggles. It was built by former law enforcement to aid crime scene investigators (CSIs), forensic investigators and analysts, medical examiners, coroners, and anyone tasked with investigating crime scenes and processing evidence for forensic analysis – empowering them to do their jobs with excellence!
Securing Evidence Integrity
Forensic Suite solutions allow investigators and patrol to begin the chain of custody in the field as evidence is being collected. This enables accurate investigation timelines while reducing the chain of custody and evidence integrity concerns and objections in court.
Forensic Analysis Management
Forensic Suite solutions are configured to track forensic requests and findings all in one place. Requests can be created using the built-in request feature or from the user profile screen. The requestor can be automatically notified with status updates and final reports with the purchase of the automated notification module.
Accessing the Investigation Command Center
Forensic Suite solutions can be integrated with an agency’s mission-critical systems, such as RMS, evidence management, and body-worn cameras. Assigned investigators can view all physical and digital evidence items in one system. CSIs may view all evidence of a case collected from different scenes by other responding personnel.
Empowers ALL Stakeholders
Personnel can now efficiently and effectively engage all parts of an investigation from crime scene to courtroom.
Crime Scene Investigators
Crime Scene Investigators will benefit from a streamlined process to document crime scenes and evidence collected. Our fully user-tailorable system will adhere to their specific needs and help them do their jobs more confidently and efficiently.
Supervisors
Supervisors can rest assured that crime scenes are being properly documented using best practices with Forensic Suite’s built-in tools such as required fields and instructional prompts to allow a crime scene unit to record consistent data. Forensic Suite applications provide a solid foundation for thorough investigations and complete reports.
Medical Examiners & Coroners
Medical Examiners and Coroners appreciate being able to document injuries, unique identifying marks, decomposition stage, medications, and next of kin, and the ability to generate detailed reports to aid investigations.
Forensic Analysts
Forensic Analysts can manage forensic requests and findings all in one place. Request details, development methods, findings, and verification information can be quickly entered and queried.
Bloodstain Pattern Analysts
Bloodstain Pattern Analysts and personnel investigating complex blood shed events can document types of patterns, stain characteristics, and measurements and automatically calculate the angle of impact of stains.
Evidence Staff
Evidence Staff can quickly transfer evidence into their chain of custody and be assured the chain of custody is maintained from all FileOnQ solution movements.
Other Benefits and Features
User Tailorable Solutions
YOUR profile is customized to meet your needs. You decide the location of fields, name of fields, and field parameter options such as text, date, time, required, formatted, look-up, checkbox, and/or dependent. Additionally, your profile can be modified at any time with no permissions needed from FileOnQ and no additional cost.
Custom Query Building
One of the most valuable tools of the system is the ability to build and save unlimited custom queries. You create queries based on the criteria you need. Custom queries can be built once, saved, and run from the convenience of the toolbar.
Browser-Based Option
A convenient aspect of the system is that you can access the system from anywhere you can access your network. You don’t have to find a computer that has the system installed on it. Many agencies just put a shortcut on their network homepage that enables access from crime scenes, from the officer’s patrol car, substations, or other remote locations.
Single Screen Convenience
Many systems require several screens for data entry and different tasks. Forensic Suite end users will enjoy working from one screen to enter data, search, scan barcodes, transfer items, and obtain signatures.
Automated Notifications
Our workflow notification automates tasks that are usually performed manually. Specific criteria are built into “triggers” that will take action, such as an automated email to an investigator after completing the forensic analysis. Triggers can also stop/prohibit an action, such as releasing drugs to the next of kin or destroying search warrant items without a court order.
Unalterable Audit Trail
Each record maintains an unalterable audit trail that documents all vital transactions: records created, edits, barcodes printed, location transfers, requests, and documents created and viewed.
Built-in Request Feature
The built-in request feature provides a streamlined process for submitting requests. Customers can customize request types such as a request for evidence to be forensically analyzed with details, checked out by investigator, authorized for release, or request for lab report. Crime scene and forensic units no longer need to reference emails or phone calls for requests.
Unlimited Search (Query) Capabilities
Every field and combination of fields is searchable, providing variable query options. Fields can be searched with known values, begins with, ends with, and contains. Additional query options include current location, query by notes, created date, last transfer or edit dates, and document types.
Specialized Data Capture
Profile fields can be formatted with scientific formulas. For example, the angle of impact of a blood stain can be auto-calculated based on the stain’s width and length data input by the end user.

Frequently Asked Questions
Leave blank
Will Forensic Suite applications integrate with EvidenceOnQ?
Yes. FileOnQ solutions can be integrated. Chain of custody tracking between systems helps ensure evidence integrity and transparency. Detailed reports can be generated outlining every location and investigator who’s accessed evidence in a case.
Can certain information be hidden from other users?
Yes. User groups are not predefined. Each agency determines the number of groups, the names, and the members. Reports, documents, notes log subjects, and fields can be restricted from certain groups
Leave blank
Can the system be used for blood spatter analysis?
Yes. Specialized data can be captured and managed in all Forensic Suite solutions. Bloodstain pattern analysis information such as measurements, stain characteristics, and surface data can be tracked. A blood shed report is generated for non-spatter events, and a blood spatter report is generated for spatter events.
Can the system be accessed from the crime scene?
Yes. FileOnQ solutions can be accessed on any device on the network via a web browser using WebView. Many police departments allow end users to access WebView from their patrol cars, evidence vehicles, and remote locations where the application may not be available. This enables investigators to work uninterrupted in the field while processing crime scenes.
