Genetec announces new law enforcement tools

MONTRÉAL — Genetec Inc. (“Genetec”) has revealed a new feature that enables law enforcement professionals to collect, manage, and share vehicle-based evidence captured by AutoVu Cloudrunner through the Genetec Clearance digital evidence management system (DEMS).

With this new functionality, Genetec said it is enabling law enforcement professionals to manage and securely share precise vehicle identification data—including license plate information, color, type, make, and vehicle behavior—and other types of evidence with both internal and external partners.

In addition to enhanced sharing capabilities, law enforcement agencies can now centralize all case-related evidence on a single platform. This allows them to review and manage a wide variety of evidence types—from vehicle data and ALPR reads to video, images, audio recordings, documents, and incident details—within a single application.  Additionally, access to data is restricted to authorized personnel only, enabling investigators to track all user activities and actions within a case, preserving the integrity of the chain of custody.

"Our goal is to empower law enforcement agencies with tools that enhance their investigative capabilities while maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and security," said Larry Legere, Commercial Director, AutoVu, Genetec Inc. "With the ability to share vehicle data through a digital evidence management system, agencies can centralize all their vehicle-based evidence in one secure platform, facilitating real-time sharing and collaboration. This not only accelerates investigations but also helps save time and operational costs."

The new evidence-sharing functionality will be included for all Cloudrunner customers, with no additional licensing required. Upon activation, subscribers will also receive six-month access to all Clearance functionalities. It will be available to North American customers through Genetec accredited channel partners starting in November 2024.
