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. 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 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.
