Digital evidence produced by body-worn cameras is among the most sensitive and valuable data your agency produces. Preserving and ensuring the integrity of this evidence is of paramount importance to the success of your cases and the reputation of your agency.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s critical to maintain an airtight chain of custody for evidence from body-worn cameras. Using a unified evidence management system helps agencies ensure that this information remains both secure and organized. (image\/Motorola Solutions)<\/p><\/div>\n

The first and possibly the most difficult obstacle is to demonstrate that the evidence has not been altered from the original source. Digital evidence is relatively easy to duplicate and almost as easy to change. Remove a fraction of a second of footage from a video recording and it will be easy to show that the original and altered versions are not the same.<\/p>\n

From capture to courtroom<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s critical to maintain an airtight chain of custody from the capture of video on a bodycam through the downloading, processing and analysis by your agency, as well as when it\u2019s time to share that evidence with prosecutors. Using a unified evidence management system such as CommandCentral Vault<\/a> from Motorola Solutions ensures that output from body-worn cameras<\/a>, dashcams and still cameras remains both secure and organized. End-to-end encryption and clear security policies protect the integrity of the data itself.<\/p>\n

Related resources, such as reports, witness statements, dispatch logs and evidence listings are indexed with other files relevant to that case, keeping the data organized and available for quick and easy retrieval.<\/p>\n

When information in a digital file needs to be redacted to protect informants or to conform with privacy laws, users can quickly create a new redaction project within CommandCentral Vault and draw a box over the detail to be concealed from view. The system largely automates this process so that investigators can focus on the tasks they do best.<\/p>\n
