Delivering Discovery to DA’s: Fast, Secure, and Auditable
Rethinking Discovery for Modern Casework
The process of sharing case materials between agencies, prosecutors, and defense teams has always been complex. Traditional methods physical media, email attachments, or unsecured cloud drives, introduce delays and security risks. With growing volumes of digital files, law enforcement agencies now require a faster, more reliable way to transfer discovery materials.
A law enforcement digital evidence platform with secure evidence sharing capabilities helps streamline this process, allowing agencies and prosecutors to manage discovery efficiently while maintaining complete visibility into every exchange.
Simplifying Prosecutor Discovery
The DIMS Portal with the DIMS Share feature was built to support prosecutor discovery by enabling direct, auditable sharing of case materials through a controlled environment. Instead of juggling USB drives or unsecured links, prosecutors can log into a centralized portal to access the exact materials authorized for their cases.
Every file transfer is tracked, including when it was sent, who accessed it, and whether it was downloaded. This reduces manual tracking tasks for detectives while giving prosecutors a dependable, organized discovery process.
Secure Evidence Sharing with Full Transparency
Security remains a top concern during discovery exchanges. The secure evidence sharing process within the DIMS Portal with the DIMS Share feature includes features such as read receipts, download logs, and access revocation. These audit-ready records provide a complete trail of every interaction, giving both agencies and defense teams confidence that materials are handled appropriately.
If a case changes or access needs to be limited, administrators can instantly revoke permissions. This flexibility eliminates the risk of outdated or unauthorized copies circulating outside the official chain of custody.
Partial Case Sets for Controlled Distribution
Not every stakeholder needs access to an entire case file. DIMS allows agencies to create partial case sets, selecting only the specific evidence required for discovery. This function saves time and protects unrelated or sensitive information from unnecessary disclosure.
Each partial case set remains fully traceable in the DIMS environment, maintaining consistent record-keeping and accountability.
Evidence Retention Made Simple
Once the discovery process is complete, the system automatically retains materials in compliance with agency-defined evidence retention policies. Files are stored securely, encrypted both in transit and at rest, with access restricted to authorized personnel. This helps agencies maintain long-term accessibility without compromising integrity.
Collaboration Without Compromise
The ability to deliver discovery quickly while protecting evidentiary integrity benefits both sides of the justice process. DIMS helps agencies, prosecutors, and defense teams collaborate efficiently through an auditable, compliant platform that simplifies every stage of discovery.
