(SeaPRwire) – MIAMI, FL – 12/05/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As law enforcement bodies encounter rising scrutiny over evidence integrity and documentation accuracy, Remergify has commercially introduced EvidenceTrust—a blockchain-powered chain-of-custody platform crafted to generate tamper-proof, court-acceptable evidence records straight from the field using ordinary mobile devices.
This platform seeks to tackle persistent operational hurdles linked to evidence handling, documentation gaps, and custody validation—problems that prosecutors and law enforcement experts often cite as key reasons for criminal case dismissals. Through the integration of blockchain verification, cryptographic authentication, and mobile evidence capture, EvidenceTrust aims to boost the reliability and traceability of both physical and digital evidence across the entire judicial workflow.
Citing data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Remergify notes that a large share of felony cases in major U.S. urban areas are dismissed each year, with evidence handling flaws listed as one of the common procedural causes. The company points out that gaps in documenting evidence transfers and authenticity can open doors to legal challenges related to admissibility and chain-of-custody integrity.
EvidenceTrust allows law enforcement officers to create unchangeable digital evidence records the instant evidence is collected. When photos or documents are captured via the platform’s mobile app, metadata such as GPS coordinates, timestamps, officer credentials, and SHA-256 cryptographic hashes are logged at the same time onto a private blockchain system. The resulting record is designed to offer a verifiable, tamper-proof audit trail that meets Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 901 authentication requirements.
The system also tracks every subsequent custody transfer—from crime scene collection to evidence storage, lab analysis, and courtroom presentation—with relevant metadata recorded on the blockchain to form a full chronological custody history.
Physical evidence bags created via the platform get QR code labels that adhere to ASTM E1459-24 evidence labeling standards. Authorized individuals—like prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judicial staff—can scan these QR codes to view a publicly verifiable chain-of-custody record without needing to log into the platform.
Remergify explains that EvidenceTrust was built to work alongside existing law enforcement Records Management Systems (RMS), including tools like Axon Evidence and Motorola CommandCentral. Instead of replacing current systems, the platform acts as an extra blockchain-based immutability layer meant to enhance evidentiary verification without needing new hardware setup or large IT integration initiatives.
The company also mentions that several U.S. states—Vermont, Arizona, and Ohio among them—have passed laws that recognize blockchain-based records as admissible evidence under specific legal structures. Furthermore, federal courts in various jurisdictions have reportedly accepted blockchain-backed documentation under Federal Rules of Evidence authentication standards.
Stuart Fine, Remergify’s CEO, said the platform was created to address procedural gaps that can weaken otherwise solid criminal cases. He stressed that blockchain-supported cryptographic verification adds a mathematically verifiable layer of authenticity to evidence documentation and transfer records.
EvidenceTrust is now accessible to law enforcement agencies via a free 60-day pilot program that doesn’t require formal procurement processes, infrastructure replacement, or upfront hardware costs. After the pilot period, pricing starts at $499 monthly for agencies with up to 50 officers. Separate licensing plans are also offered for district attorney offices, forensic labs, and court systems.
Alongside the platform’s launch, Remergify has published a white paper entitled The Hidden Cost of Lost Cases: How Evidence Handling Failures Are Draining Municipal Budgets and Letting Guilty People Walk, which explores the financial and operational effects of evidence-related case dismissals on municipal governments and justice systems.
