The forensic-register is a forensic case management application with an integrated laboratory information management system (LIMS) which supports accreditation requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and AS 5388. The forensic-register is the dominant forensic case file management application across policing jurisdictions in Australia and has been in active use and development for over 20 years. It allows for storage of all forensic case information including evidence recording and collection, forensic examinations and reviews, digital image capture and retention, storage of digital files, diagrams, examination and analysis results into a single case file record. Integration with instrumentation, analytical and interpretative software allows for efficient and accurate reporting of results for clients. It includes performance monitoring and management of workflows through a range of highly effective reporting, performance and quality assurance aids.

Key Features

Forensic Informatics is essential to modern policing and investigation generally.[1] BdnaTec's team of business analysts, engineers and forensic subject matter experts work closely with law enforcement and forensic laboratories to improve forensic service delivery through accurate, timely analysis and the rapid dissemination of forensic results and intelligence.

Case Management

The forensic-register is a single, flexible, forensic platform that supports highly efficient field and laboratory based activities.

Crime Scene Workflows

The forensic-register provides mobile capture and transfer of forensic evidence to expert support services, enabling the production of rapid intelligence that often results in suspect nominations and identifications whilst at the crime scene to accurately direct investigations.

Mobile Ready

The forensic-register can be deployed on any device supporting efficient field and laboratory based activities. Acquisition of field data using mobile connected devices, including images and notes, further increases the efficiencies of the inbuilt digital workflows and reduces risks by minimising equipment required in the field.
