Cloud-based platform and AI-powered tools help agencies replace paper evidence logs with secure, court-ready records

FRISCO, Texas, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Asset Panda, the leading asset management, inspection, and audit software, today announced expanded capabilities designed to help law enforcement agencies modernize evidence management, strengthen chain of custody procedures and improve accountability across their operations.

For police departments, sheriff’s offices and investigative agencies, maintaining an unbroken chain of custody is critical to preserving the integrity of criminal investigations. Yet many agencies still rely on paper logs and disconnected systems to track evidence, creating opportunities for human error, misplaced records and documentation gaps that can undermine cases in court.

Asset Panda’s cloud-based police asset management software provides agencies with a centralized digital system for tracking evidence, seized property and law enforcement equipment throughout their entire lifecycle. By replacing manual processes with digital workflows, departments can create an auditable record of every transfer, assignment and status change associated with an asset.

“When a case reaches the courtroom, investigators need complete confidence in the integrity of their evidence,” said Rex Kurzius, CEO of Asset Panda. “An incomplete transfer record or misplaced paper log can create unnecessary risk for an agency. Asset Panda helps law enforcement organizations establish a secure digital chain of custody that improves accountability and provides clear documentation from collection through final disposition.”

Integrated directly into Asset Panda Pro, Ursa AI provides law enforcement leaders with a faster way to access information and analyze operational data. The platform’s automated workflows, user-level audit trails and role-based permissions help agencies establish standardized procedures while reducing administrative burden.

The platform also supports broader law enforcement asset management needs, including tracking firearms, radios, body-worn cameras, vehicles, tactical equipment, uniforms and other department-issued assets. Agencies can manage both serialized equipment and high-volume inventory through a single system while maintaining detailed assignment histories for individual personnel.

“Law enforcement agencies face increasing demands for transparency, accountability and operational efficiency,” said Justin Lackey, President of Asset Panda. “Whether it’s producing a complete evidence history for court, managing thousands of issued assets or preparing for an audit, agencies need systems that eliminate manual work while increasing confidence in their records. That’s exactly what Asset Panda was built to do.”

As municipalities continue investing in technology modernization, Asset Panda says agencies are increasingly seeking solutions that improve both efficiency and public trust. By creating a single source for evidence, equipment and inventory records, departments can strengthen accountability while ensuring critical information is available whenever it is needed.
