The digital evidence management challenge
Life is becoming increasingly digital. So too is law enforcement where over 80% of the evidence collected is now digital. This leaves policing organizations with the challenge of how to manage and store the mountains of digital documents, images, videos, recordings and other digital evidence from electronic devices such as laptops, cellphones and more.
Our solution
OpenText™ Digital Evidence Center (DEC) is a digital evidence management solution (DEM) providing the ability to ingest, search, store, analyze, share and report on evidence collected in a case. Delivering evidence chain of custody to ensure admissibility in court, it is a role-based, access-controlled, cloud-native architected solution providing case management, media management, forensic evidence management and document management capabilities. As a single, centralized repository of digital evidence, it eliminates the need for detectives and other interested parties to log on to multiple systems, saving time, increasing efficiency, reducing costs and bringing cases to closure more quickly.
Video and image evidence
In-car videos, body worn camera images and other incident-related videos and images are captured for high speed scrubbing, image enhancement and collaboration.
Document evidence
Documents such as incident reports, witness and victim statements and call records are digitized and stored for case processing.
Forensic evidence
Collect evidence such as emails, browser history, images and more, from suspect laptops, computers, cellphones and other devices.
