Omnigo Launches Asset Forfeiture Software for Law Enforcement

St. Louis – October 13, 2026 -- Omnigo Software has launched Omnigo Asset Forfeiture Management, a web-based application that tracks civil asset forfeiture from initial seizure through final disposition, as law enforcement agencies face heightened legislative, judicial and public scrutiny.

Omnigo builds a single end-to-end record for each seized asset

The workflow starts at the point of seizure. Staff can maintain asset, evidence and case information, monitor deadlines and required actions, create standardized legal documents, record financial activity and document final disposition in one complete record.

Scrutiny pushes agencies to run forfeiture as an agency-wide process

Agencies face a higher burden to show that every seized asset was handled properly. Omnigo says this is leading them to treat forfeiture as a coordinated, agency-wide process rather than a series of separate property, legal and financial tasks.
