 Linear Systems is the worldwide leader in technology and market share for digital information management for law enforcement. Linear provides expertise and experience in delivering completely automated digital information workflow solutions to business and government throughout the United States. This includes consultation, engineering of customized solutions for specific tasks, creation of associated policies and procedures, implementation of a system of hardware and/or software to accomplish the task, integration into existing systems and operations, training of users, and maintenance of the completed project.
 Linear's flagship software and hardware solution for investigative agencies is DIMS (Digital Information Management System). DIMS is a complete and extremely adaptable digital information manager for photographic, audio, video and documents that simplifies the acquisition and archive of field or lab gathered digital evidence. In addition, DIMS provides access security and logs an audit trail for the chain of custody while automatically archiving redundant, secure data in a non-proprietary format. Unlike most software offered by companies, DIMS is not a converted or adapted photo database but a complete turnkey solution developed specifically for enforcement of your department's Policies and Procedures for digital evidence. In addition, unlike most RMS systems, DIMS was designed to adapt to how you operate, not force you into a predefined set of procedures that too often cannot work with the legal constraints of your agency or industry guidelines such as SWGIT, ASCLD, ISO or 28CFR.
 DIMS is also the ONLY solution designed to give total ownership of the data contained within it to the department using it. With DIMS you are not stuck having to pay for unneeded upgrades, conversion fees, or maintenance fees to a less than forthcoming database company that has your data held hostage in proprietary formats. By design, DIMS stores information in non-proprietary, industry standard formats and Linear provides your department the ability to easily interface with other database applications, such as CAD, RMS, or LIMS. Embedded multi-level security prevents challenges to the authenticity or validation of digital evidence while giving administrators and the staff that they authorize access to view evidence and metadata in formats, including a web interface.
