Cómo funciona

Verizon Digital Evidence Management provides crowdsourcing, automation and collaboration, while observing critical chain-of-custody requirements. When you request and receive information from the public about incidents through crowdsourcing, the solution can help you more easily manage and secure potentially large amounts of data. It does this by allowing immediate data association with cases, plotting digital assets geographically and giving multiple officers the ability to easily tag, comment and annotate—all of which provides rapid curation of ingested digital data. We developed the solution by collaborating with law enforcement experts to support daily needs, as well as large, high-profile events of handling digital evidence.

Key features of Verizon Digital Evidence Management

Scalable high-volume data upload: Simplify data collection from endpoint devices and systems and upload mass evidence for near-instant control. Officers can upload their own evidence from mobile devices, for example, which reduces the need for technicians and helps ensure officers capture needed data. This can simplify the overall evidence gathering experience, by not requiring a specialized app or device.

Intuitive collaboration tools: Share evidence easily across teams with seamless data upload and control data exchange between officer devices and agency systems.

Native public/citizen interaction (crowdsourcing): Streamline mass evidence upload from the community and quickly share data about ongoing investigations. The solution provides public data-upload web pages and case-specific upload capabilities for law enforcement agencies. This simplifies how vast amounts of evidence can be collected securely in the cloud.

Automated asset standardization: Easily combine data sources and formats, and provide a common output for easier collaboration.

Tag, search, sort and collaborate: Add investigative data to files without altering them. Automated geotagging, date and time collection, and mapping displays mean everyone can know when and where evidence was collected. This helps reduce the time spent registering and managing digital evidence.

Easy deployment: Take the complexity out of setup and maintenance with the managed and hosted solution.

Affordable tiered pricing: Get up to 30 terabytes of storage, including inexpensive growth plans. We can help you benefit from a lower cost of ownership.

Scalable, serverless architecture: Let us help you quickly integrate new technologies, policies and processes with the solution’s cloud-based architecture. You receive fast, reliable technology and updates without the hassle of proposals, bids and implementation.

The case for Verizon Digital Evidence Management

Law enforcement personnel and prosecutors can get overwhelmed by the growing volume of digital evidence.

Verizon Digital Evidence Management can help:

More effective use of resources

The solution helps increase efficiency throughout evidence collection, storage and analysis processes, saving you time and money. Gone are the days of having to dispatch a technician, retrieve a device, transfer the data, normalize the format, physically store the asset and return the device. Now officers can simply record and upload or provide links to the public to upload the data they collect. This frees officers up to spend more time solving and preventing crime.

Improved security and chain of custody

Storing digital evidence in a secure, manageable and accessible environment is necessary to meet strict authentication requirements by CJIS and the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), as well as to keep pace with other rapidly evolving governance, policies and regulations.

Better prosecution outcomes

How you collect and analyze evidence can have a significant impact on the prosecutorial process. The solution can help you uncover key connections, generate new leads and improve case solvability. It acts as a force multiplier, so more eyes can participate in the investigation and collaborate on the gathering and analysis of digital evidence. Better evidence management can result in fewer delays, stays and plea deals, which benefits the entire criminal justice system.

Enhancing community relations

Your community not only pays attention, it helps crowdsource much of the digital evidence you receive. Public trust is a key component in modern policing, and ensuring evidence integrity is a top priority for public safety leaders. The solution can help you efficiently collect and organize the increasing amount of crowdsourced digital evidence coming in from the public. With public data-upload web pages set up and controlled by law enforcement, the community can offer its data directly to agencies. There’s no need for officers to collect devices or require the public to download apps.
