Linear Systems DIMS (Digital Information Management System)

Designed for Law Enforcement

Linear Systems developed the first version of their Digital Information Management Systems (DIMS) over 10 years ago.  Originally created by and for Law Enforcement to manage images for early adopters of Digital Photography, DIMS has grown to manage all forms of electronic evidence.  This includes not only digital photography but voice and video evidence.  DIMS was the first system designed specifically for Law Enforcement. Linear works closely to maintain compliance with SWGIT, ASCLD and 28CFR standards. DIMS works for both small and large agencies and scales to meet the needs of growing departments.  Linear has worked closely with Law Enforcement for the last 10 years to add product and feature sets that fit departmental workflow and best practice scenarios.
