Imagine you have a toy box with lots of toys inside. You want to keep them safe and organized, so you put them in different compartments in the box. Evidence management is like that toy box, but instead of toys, it's used to keep things safe and organized for the police or other people who need to investigate crimes.
When the police investigate a crime, they collect a lot of different things like fingerprints, DNA, and objects that might have been used in the crime. All of these things are called evidence. Evidence management means taking care of all of the evidence and making sure it's stored properly and kept safe.
Just like how you put your toys in different compartments in your toy box, the police put different kinds of evidence in different lockers or containers. They also have special rooms, called evidence rooms, where they keep all the evidence organized and safe. Only authorized people who have permission from the police can access the evidence.
Evidence management is really important because it helps make sure that the evidence is handled carefully and nothing gets lost or damaged. This way, the evidence can be used in court to help solve crimes and make sure that the right person is held responsible for what happened.
