We exist to engineer a change in law enforcement culture with respect to property and evidence management, to ensure justice for all stakeholders in the process.
At the Evidence Management Institute (EMI), our mission is to empower law enforcement agencies and evidence management professionals with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to maintain the highest standards in property and evidence management. We are committed to improving the accountability, integrity, and effectiveness of evidence storage, handling, and disposition through training, resources, and cutting-edge best practices.
Evidence Management Institute was established by industry professionals who recognized the critical need for elevating evidence management practices within the justice system. Our leadership team brings together decades of experience in evidence management, property handling, and operational efficiency to guide agencies in implementing effective, compliant, and secure processes.
We believe that effective evidence management is the backbone of a fair and functional justice system. Through our partnerships and training programs, Evidence Management Institute provides evidence custodians with vital skills in areas such as digital evidence handling, chain of custody, and legal compliance. Our educational offerings are designed to equip evidence professionals with the expertise to solve practical challenges in the field while adhering to the best practices and standards recognized across the industry.
At Evidence Management Institute, we are deeply invested in fostering a strong community of evidence professionals. A key part of this commitment is The Facebook Group: The Evidence Management Community Forum, where professionals from across the country can engage, collaborate, and share best practices. This growing community provides evidence managers with a platform to ask questions, exchange ideas, and stay up-to-date on industry trends.
We also offer free resources such as online training and self-assessments to help agencies maintain compliance and improve their processes. By providing a range of support services and state-level legal resources, we aim to be a reliable, single source for anyone responsible for managing evidence.
