TOKYO — The National Police Agency has decided to store evidence collected from crime scenes and suspects' homes on integrated circuit tags due to the loss of such evidence from police stations across Japan, agency officials said Monday.
Under the new system, police officers will attach IC tags to evidence right after they collect it and read the tags by machine when they move the evidence into or out of cabinets, they said.
The NPA will introduce the system on a trial basis at two police stations next fiscal year and has included 147 million yen of the costs for this into its budget request for fiscal 2008, they said.
