Did you know that over 90% of crimes today involve digital evidence? In law enforcement, the exponential growth of digital evidence has revolutionized investigative practices, presenting unprecedented opportunities and formidable challenges. From cyber crimes to traditional offenses, perpetrators’ digital footprints are now crucial to criminal investigations. This surge in digital evidence necessitates innovative products and strategies tailored to the needs of law enforcement agencies.
Every day, a massive amount of data is generated, including emails, social media posts, surveillance footage, and digital communications. This influx of information provides valuable leads and insights into criminal activities, aiding investigators in solving cases and bringing offenders to justice. However, managing all of this evidence would be impossible without dedicated digital evidence management software. Enter DigitalOnQ, FileOnQ’s innovative Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) designed to revolutionize the handling of digital evidence.
A Unified Command Center for Digital Evidence
DigitalOnQ serves as a centralized control center, enabling public safety and justice agencies to seamlessly access, manage, and share digital evidence. Whether dealing with CCTV footage, body-worn camera videos, photographs and images, recorded audio, important documents, or citizen-submitted media, DigitalOnQ eliminates the need for physical storage devices, streamlining the entire process.
Key Features That Set DigitalOnQ Apart
How DigitalOnQ Outshines the Competition
Most other evidence management software providers only allow users to upload files into their databases without tracking each piece of digital evidence separately. Thus, these repositories are simply file storage (like Dropbox) rather than treating each digital file as unique evidence. Much like physical evidence (like a gun or knife), digital evidence should be handled carefully and tracked the same way. Every photo, video, document, audio file, etc., is an individual piece of digital evidence.
Maintaining digital evidence integrity requires two components: file hashing and chain of custody tracking. DigitalOnQ hashes every file as it is uploaded (each file hash is a string of unique characters, like a serial number, used to determine if files are ever changed) and tracks the chain of custody. These two features are critical in a DEMS solution.
Our chain of custody tracks every user interaction with every single file in the database, including viewing, printing, downloading, annotating, and making enhancements.
Other important features relate to how the DEMS manages access control within the database. For example, patrol officers usually don’t need access to sensitive evidence connected to sex crimes. DigitalOnQ takes a two-pronged approach to managing access control.
First, we add all the state crime categories into the database and tie them to user groups in the database. Patrol officers could upload digital evidence for a rape or child molestation case; however, they won’t be able to access all the other digital evidence collected in the case.
Second, user groups can be tailored to restrict access to DigitalOnQ based on the group type. For example, patrol officers could have mid-level access to the database while general detectives have elevated access, and special assault detectives have even higher access.
Unlike competitors that confine agencies to simple storage solutions, DigitalOnQ is storage-agnostic and scalable. It integrates with various storage containers, including on-premise servers and Azure for US Government cloud storage, offering unparalleled flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
Moreover, DigitalOnQ’s unwavering commitment to compliance with industry standards ensures that agencies can manage sensitive digital evidence securely and efficiently, maintaining the highest levels of integrity.
Conclusion
As digital evidence becomes increasingly integral to law enforcement, DigitalOnQ provides a robust, flexible, and secure solution for managing this data. By streamlining workflows, enhancing accessibility, and ensuring compliance with stringent security standards, DigitalOnQ stands as a pivotal tool in modern policing, distinguishing FileOnQ in the realm of digital evidence management.
