3 Who's responsible for security in a city? Today, private security companies have twice the number of staff as law enforcement agencies, but evidence still needs to be routed through the proper channels. With everybody and everything working in silos, clearing cases is often arduous work. For the public, security teams and businesses, submitting and collaborating on digital multimedia material is complicated and frustrating. If files aren't packaged up properly, they might never be found – or worse, they may become compromised due to faulty systems, making them inadmissible in court. Genetec Clearance removes technology silos and standardizes evidence collection for law enforcement, retail businesses and university campuses. It modernizes and harmonizes digital evidence within the ecosystem of records management and case management systems – changing the way evidence is dealt with and cases are solved. Through its open architecture, Clearance can integrate with different sources of evidence. Bridges can be built to other systems, and data can be easily ingested into the platform. Video recordings of crimes can be sent directly to police departments via email. They can then be automatically normalized into MP4s, making them easier to manage and investigate. With built-in video redaction, people's privacy can be protected. By blurring faces and adding masking, the identity of victims, bystanders, witnesses and police officers can remain anonymous. There are no limitations on how many users can access the system. And all actions taken are automatically tracked to make sure the chain of custody of the evidence is maintained as it's shared. Collaboration that makes life easier Building bridges between systems
