CaseGuide for Cold Case Teams
Cold Case Teams maintain an open case file over an extended period of time, which is no trivial matter. Cases must be properly organized, notated, updated, and maintained to both work the case and onboard new team members. Having a defined process to organize, analyze, search, and report on what could be large quantities of information is key to successfully managing a case… and solving that case as new information becomes available.
Making it digital is just the first step
Digitizing old, paper case files is just the first step in dusting off an old cold case. Compendia, the maker of CaseGuide, works with Cold Case Teams to digitize old case files then organize the case information to make analysis and reporting that much easier for the team.
A Cold Case Doesn’t Imply It’s Old… or “Dusty”
Any unsolved crime over a year old could be considered a “cold case.” The evidence from a cold case could include modern forensic evidence - including HD video from modern surveillance cameras. CaseGuide is software that can be used to both digitize old, paper case files and import data in modern file formats.
