The Plano Police Department (Plano PD), in Texas, has successfully implemented the Access.it Evidence System from LEID Products, a leader of electronic locker and cabinet storage with biometric asset protection and control.
Plano PD is the largest law enforcement agency in the northern Dallas metropolitan area, and serves more than 271,140 citizens.
The system provides secure, digital chain-of-custody tracking for over 2,500 pieces of evidence each month.

The Plano Police Department has over 300 officers who have benefitted from the system’s ease of use and reliable handling of sensitive evidence such as DNA and firearms.
In 2014, the department underwent a large-scale renovation.
Working with Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects, they chose LEID Products’ Access.it Evidence System to replace the outdated key and lock system.
The Access.it locker system is specifically designed to provide an extremely secure chain of custody during the critical short-term evidence storage period with the convenience of self-service drop-off and pick-up.
The new system has provided Plano PD’s officers with a wide range of locker sizes and mail slots to use at their convenience, preventing lockers from filling up.
The Access.it’s card reader and barcode system has proven to be user-friendly with a short learning curve.
