Top 5 reasons K-12 schools use Genetec Clearance Checklist: Top 5 reasons to use Genetec Clearance in K-12 Challenges in education The safety of students and staff members is a top priority for the police departments and security teams at school districts. Conducting investigations and sharing digital evidence internally or with law enforcement is resource intensive and time consuming. Traditional methods often also lack security controls and are difficult to audit. As school districts are faced with restricted resources, their tools must allow them to operate more effectively. Student and staff privacy is also a major concern when sharing video evidence and organizations can lack the tools to easily redact video in-house. What is Clearance? Clearance is a digital evidence management system (DEMS). It helps schools and school districts to collect, review, and share digital evidence files in a secure way more easily as part of an investigation. The application streamlines the management of video requests from school administration, parents, and law enforcement, which helps ensure the security of students and staff members. At the same time, it helps internal stakeholders get access to the recordings they need with speed and confidence. It does so while ensuring that data is protected, and the chain of custody maintained. The product is designed as a standalone cloud-based web application that's easy to use and implement. It requires minimal involvement from the IT department to set up and maintain and can adapt to an organization's growing needs. What Clearance customers have to say "We used to spend a lot of time burning copies of evidence and delivering them to the district attorney's office or to whoever needed it. We didn't realize how out-of-date that process was until we started using Genetec Clearance. Now, we're able to process those cases faster and move on to other tasks." - Mark Stout, Chief, Putnam City Schools Police Department.
