Case Study: PDEvidence achieves faster crime‑solving and automated evidence management with Amazon Web Services

PDEvidence Helps Solve Crimes Faster Using Automated AWS-Based System

PDEvidence delivers web-based barcode, evidence, laboratory, and property management solutions built by law‑enforcement professionals. Agencies such as the Pennsylvania State Police Computer Crime Unit faced slow, error-prone, paper‑and‑spreadsheet workflows, inconsistent regional reporting, and a need for secure, CJIS‑compliant data sharing across multiple offices and federal partners.

PDEvidence’s cloud LIMS—hosted in AWS GovCloud and using Amazon EC2 and S3—provides scalable, encrypted, tablet/PC access with barcode workflows and real‑time entry, centralizing evidence management and reporting. The system speeds forensic analysis and interagency data sharing, reduces turnaround times, eliminates per‑workstation licensing, enables automated invoicing to defendants, and saved the Pennsylvania State Police nearly $90K in just over four months; PDEvidence is also exploring Amazon Rekognition to add searchable image analysis.
