Overview
The Police and Law Enforcement Agencies usually create a case at the beginning of investigations especially when they have some evidence in hand. Similarly, once the case is finalized and all legislative and court hearing activities are finished the cases can be deleted, to avoid any misuse of evidence. This is a frequent process and VIDIZMO's Digital Evidence Management System helps create and delete cases smoothly and efficiently so the officers can be more focused on the investigation rather than taking care of the evidence.
