SAFE Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Pros
This system is easy to use. The barcode system is great and assist with media handling 100% better than it used to be if you are diligent in where you are placing your evidence. Uploading documents is great, fast and efficient. I take a lot of pride in my evidence room and this system and this system allows me to track the evidence better. It has a sign in sign out feature so you can hold people accountable for taking items and not returning them. Running a search on items is great and has allowed me to identify multiple items that I thought were MIA when they are just associated with another project. Adding custom fields is also amazing and having the option to take those fields out is just as great, as my company has merged amillion times and that means I have to migrate more and more systems into Safe while still keeping all information from their system in Safe. Once it's all migrated, I can take that field out and we no longer see that field.

Cons
Moving from Item back to matter is a huge pain. Once you click on the item you need to view you have at the very least 3 clicks to go back and view the matter and get back to the other items in the case. Adding people to a matter is not easy. If you try to add a person who has been added previously instead of asking if you'd like to add that person (It does this once) it tells you that email already exists and now you have to go to search and run a search for that person then add them to the case. This is not very efficient when adding. You also can add a document to an item without entering the item and again getting back to the other items is a pain. I just name ti document and drag and drop. If it's labeled as Item 1 then I know where it belongs instead of attaching to the item specifically.

Pros
The address field populates addresses as you type and the ability to customize the reports..

Cons
The most important aspect of tracking evidence is to maintain an accurate chain of custody. The Safe program lacks the ability to properly maintain a correct chain of custody. In a perfect world the Safe program would be fine, but not all transactions occur exactly when or how we want them to and with Safe, there is no ability to change a transaction. The transaction may change in different ways, to include the person who is assigned to pick up the item to the actual date the items is picked up or transferred. This could ultimately cause an important case or cases to be thrown out of court. There is also a lack of ability to customize the various forms that are used. The currency form was designed very poorly.

Pros
This product is so easy to setup and use. You literally can be setup, trained, and entering evidence into the SAFE within a couple of hours. I took a couple of our officers, gave them logins and asked them to enter a fictitious case with several items of evidence into SAFE, without showing them how to use the system. Each officer was able to navigate the software and enter the case and its corresponding evidence without any issues or help. The system is very intuitive and easy to use.

Cons
The downside of any shared system is the lack of configurability in some areas of the system. With that said, the staff at Tracker have made every accommodation that we’ve asked, within reason.

Pros
Being able to quickly and easily search and view evidence pertaining to certain cases. Quickly and efficiently being able to label and store evidence, as well as check it out. Replaced hand written control forms and evidence labels for a neat organized look.

Cons
Prefers there was an option to observe the completed label and information added to a case, person, or item and give users the opportunity to make any necessary changes without an administrator. At this point, when adding new information, once you've moved on to a new page, you can not go back and make any changes. Being able to observe the information and make changes prior to official publishing would reduce the changes admin has to make upon officer request.
