How Police Departments Use Video Redaction Software to Protect Sensitive Evidence

In today’s justice system, video evidence plays a critical role in investigations and court proceedings. However, this evidence often contains sensitive information—such as faces, license plates, or personal details like HIPPA content—that must be carefully managed to protect privacy and comply with legal standards. That’s where video redaction software comes into play. For police departments, the ability to quickly and accurately redact evidence is essential for balancing workflows while maintaining privacy. AI-assisted tools are paving the way to make the process easier than ever!

 

The Power of Veritone Redact and Why We Partner with Them

Veritone Redact is an advanced AI-powered solution designed specifically for audio and video evidence management. The benefits for public safety agencies can’t be understated. What once took hours of work redacting sensitive information can now be done with a few clicks. With Veritone Redact, agencies can get automatic detection for things like faces and license plates within videos and images. The solution even tracks content frame by frame for complete coverage, so accuracy isn’t an issue.

What’s more, Veritone Redact can tackle transcript-based audio content too. Users just search for words or phrases across the recordings—such as an interrogation or 911 calls—and then have the content removed. The rest of the admissible evidence remains intact. Only the sensitive identifiers are redacted.

Along the way, the redacted files come with their own reports and chain of custody. This helps the evidence hold up in court while supporting public transparency. It’s also a great way to collaborate with other parties involved in the case.

Our team at iRecord is proud to partner with Veritone Redact for our solution offerings. It’s our way of giving agencies the power to protect personal information while maintaining the integrity of their evidence. Together, we’re delivering brilliant evidence management solutions to agencies not just across the country, but around the world!

 

Pairing Your Tools with Digital Evidence Management Systems (DEMS)

Redaction software is most effective when it’s seamlessly connected to the rest of your evidence management process. That’s where a Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) comes into play. A DEMS allows agencies to securely store, organize, and share digital files. That’s why iRecord insists on delivering the best to clients.

When paired with redaction tools like Veritone Redact, a DEMS makes it easy to keep sensitive evidence secure. All the while, people who need access to the evidence can work with it through secure online logins. A consistent chain of custody is kept across all digital files.

A robust DEMS simplifies the process of reviewing, redacting, and approving evidence for the courtroom. It’s a great way to streamline collaboration between departments and prosecutors, keeping everything organized and ready for the case.
