The beauty of the layout of CrimePad^® is that it allows for ultimate flexibility so you can add elements as you need to. As new things come up in real time, you can quickly add the appropriate element to document it.

You can easily add a sketch by adding a sketch element and adding a reference image for the sketch. When prompted, choose “From Camera” and take a photo of your sketch with your iPad.

Locations are any area within a scene that you wish to define. They may include specific areas where crime scene processing techniques are performed, evidence is collected, or access points are entered and exited at the scene. These locations can be created at any time and used repeatedly within the scene as needed.

While there may not be any personal protective equipment (PPE) designed for the iPad specifically for crime scenes, after-market products like Otterbox’s Defender case for the iPad and iPad mini, can help protect your tablet from damage and contamination. Remember to disinfect your tablet before entering, periodically, and upon exiting the scene to prevent contaminating the scene and to ensure your safety.

Visionations is committed to ensuring CrimePad^® meets the needs of the crime scene community and places a high value on user feedback. There are a couple ways you can share your ideas and comments on the app. The primary way is to fill in the support form below. Due to the high interest, we won't always be able to respond directly. In addition, Visionations is currently partnering with several police and crime scene organizations to formally beta-test upcoming features in CrimePad^®. Collectively, the input from you and other highly engaged crime scene professionals will help shape the future development of CrimePad^®.

Visionations first and foremost is committed to your security. CrimePad 2.0 introduces password protection for your data. In order to allow for password protection, we needed to ensure that there was a way to reset your passwords. Creating a free Visioneer account allows us to easily reset your password for you so that you never have to worry about being locked out from your data.

Creating a Visioneer account requires you to have an active connection to the internet the entire time when setting up your user account. Please check the connection on your iPad to make sure you are connected to the internet. After that, you will no longer need an internet connection unless you need to reset your password.
