Abstract

A method for transferring electronic evidence is provided. The law enforcement agencies can make efficient use of social media and other forms of public communications to make a public appeal for information on crimes and other investigations wherein the public appeals allow members of the public to easily submit information and/or media files from smartphones and other computers in a way that allows the submission to be linked to the public appeal (e.g. the specific case file or the attributes of the case file) so that the submission data can be found and accessed by law enforcement investigators.
