POLARIS™ DIGITAL EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT FEATURES
POLARIS by Utility™ Product Sheet
POLARIS by Utility™ is a cloud-based digital evidence management solution that allows users to securely store captured evidence and offers SmartRedaction™.
Formerly known as AVaiLWEB, POLARIS allows agencies to upload, analyze and manage evidence including video, audio, documents, photos, metadata, phone data, security camera footage, and more from our other solutions including EOS™ police body camera and ROCKET™ in-car communications.
Agencies can manage camera registry programs within the platform featuring a simple process to request digital evidence from citizens and have files uploaded to the case directly. Additionally, the platform allows for the intake of evidence from third-party systems allowing agencies to utilize one DEMS platform for all forms of evidence, further streamlining law enforcement workflow, expediting the digital evidence intake process, and ultimately ensuring that officers spend less time behind a desk and more time within the communities they serve.
Designed to enable agencies to gather disparate digital evidence into one unified view, the updated POLARIS platform expands the types of data that can be uploaded and displayed to users with the capability to manage video, audio, documents, photos, metadata, phone data, security camera footage, and more. The advanced technology also allows citizens to upload data and evidence to the system if requested by investigators.
Additional POLARIS™ features include:
‣ Transcription and Translation: Users can easily transcribe digital evidence with the technology that now also offers a robust range of translation capabilities powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
‣ Share Links to Cases and Media: Officers can easily copy links to files or cases for easy sharing via email.
‣ Video Conversion: Users now have the opportunity to convert video from non-proprietary formats.
‣ Advanced Reporting: A new range of reports are available to officers including Top Incidents, Last Associated User, Total Incident by Classification, Incidents by Upload Date, and Waypoint Status.
Utility continually collaborates with law enforcement to ensure our technologies evolve alongside their needs. With POLARIS, we aim to simplify the demanding tasks associated with managing digital evidence—an increasingly time-consuming responsibility for officers handling vast amounts of data. Our latest technology enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of digital evidence management, allowing officers to spend more time fostering trust and transparency within their communities.
POLARIS by Utility™ is not just a tool; it’s a powerful virtual command center that guides your team with total transparency. This latest technology expands upon Utility’s universe of products and operating systems, which supports more than 50,000 users with an intuitive platform for effectively capturing, managing, and releasing video evidence.
