NIRCL utilizes The Crime Fighter BEAST (Bar Coded Evidence Analysis Statistics and Tracking) software program which provides Forensic Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) for crime labs and Evidence Management Systems (EMS) for police agencies.
The BEAST was developed over 20 years ago by Porter Lee Corporation when Mike Evans and Tim Smith were contracted by the Northern Illinois Police Crime Lab (NIPCL) to develop software that would satisfy ASCLD/LAB (American Society of Crime Lab Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board) LIMS requirements for Crime Labs.
