Boulder County Sheriff's Office: Digital Evidence Ecosystem Enhances Community Safety and Trust
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office was looking to deploy a new digital evidence and body-worn camera ecosystem to better protect citizens and further enhance a strong foundation of community trust. While deputies had previously used limited smartphone video on patrol, Boulder County wanted to deploy a more efficient and holistic digital evidence solution.
“Before we had the video technology, our deputies would take photos and videos from digital cameras and regular film cameras and have to get that developed or get it onto a flash drive and into our evidence department,” said Jessica Flinn, Records Department. “With that, they would have to fill out property sheets and bring that back in, and so it was a very long process for them at the end of their day, when they already had a full report to write.”
With the Motorola Solutions digital evidence ecosystem, Boulder County now leverages body-worn cameras, an evidence-grade smartphone camera application, and digital evidence management software. The digital evidence ecosystem allows Boulder County to more effectively capture video footage, instantly upload multimedia files from any location, and quickly access content for review or redaction.
For Boulder County, the Motorola Solutions digital evidence ecosystem stood out in four primary ways:
Excellent video accompanied with proven audio quality
Instant upload abilities from any Wi-Fi hotspot
Seamless camera and microphone integration in one device, reducing the overall amount of equipment carried by deputies
Strong customer service throughout the product lifecycle
