Up close: Traka’s intelligent system protects evidence, keys and belongings

Traka intelligent locker systems is meeting the critical asset management needs of law enforcement agencies. Their solutions were on display to the law enforcement leaders attending the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference. Through interactive demonstrations, Traka showed attendees their Intelligent Lockers for storing evidence, electronic devices and firearms, Traka Touch Pro electronic key cabinets and Personnel Deposit lockers.

Product: The Traka Intelligent modular lockers for evidence management ensure the chain of custody is maintained from the moment a piece of important evidence, like a smartphone or tablet computer, is placed in the locker until it is removed for forensic evaluation. Intelligent lockers are available in device specific sizes – smartphone, tablet and laptop.

Traka, using the same software technology, also offers Traka Touch Pro electronic key cabinets for secure storage of 5 to 180+ keys.

What it does: Traka solves the solution of keeping electronic devices powered and preserving the chain of custody by:

• Signal blocking: Traka has partnered with SLNT to create device-sized Faraday bags that block any signals attempting to wipe or reset the device.
• Maintaining device power: The Traka intelligent locker delivers power to the connected Faraday bag to make sure the phone, tablet or laptop is always charged while awaiting forensics examination.
• Modular set-up: Agencies can mix and match Intelligent lockers to create the optimal storage solution for their department’s current and ongoing needs.
• Multiple access options: The department can give their personnel access to the Traka storage solutions with a PIN, biometric, nearfield phone signal or card reader.

The Traka solution for evidence management, key storage and personal belongings storage isn’t just the hardware. The complete solution is the software that turns the hardware into an access-controlled asset management solution.
