Police agencies are increasingly capturing and processing audio, video, and mobile data related to crimes with body-worn cameras documenting officers’ daily operations. This results in a growing volume of footage that must be carefully reviewed and protected to support civil and criminal cases.

It also creates greater opportunities to build trust within local communities by sharing more video footage of officers’ daily activities.

While officers’ primary concern is keeping people safe and apprehending criminals, the rising volume of digital evidence presents significant challenges. Officers are spending more time processing large volumes of data, with strict laws and guidelines dictating how video evidence must be handled, including requirements for the anonymization of sensitive information. This has led to a growing manual workload, highlighting the urgent need for productivity tools. Citizens expect the police to protect their safety while also safeguarding their personal data. With the right solutions in place, officers can save considerable time, enabling them to share more information and efficiently process a greater number of requests and pieces of evidence.
