3.3 trillion hours of video surveillance footage are captured daily in the US1.
The rapid growth of audio and video files as evidentiary media in criminal and legal cases has continued to accelerate. Today, almost half of law enforcement agencies2 in the US acquired body-worn cameras, and seven states3 mandate their use. Even federal law enforcement agencies4 and departments of correction5 have begun using BWCs.
With 97% of Americans owning a cellphone6, the amount of media evidence captured on video as a witness to a crime, an accident, or an event has become prevalent.
Preparation is important when managing audio and video files for investigations, during the eDiscovery process, or when you’re trying to redact personal identifiable information (PII) for public records requests.
