Quote:Tracking in criminal cases should become more efficient and carry less risk for error with a barcode system Lancaster County wants to get.
"The ability to better track both property and evidence is paramount to the completion of our mission as far as criminal justice is concerned," said Steven Echternach, Strasburg's police chief and the head of the technology committee for the Lancaster County Chiefs of Police Association.
The Barcode Evidence Analysis Statistical Tracking, or BEAST, system would allow departments to assign a barcode to evidence and property.
