NOTE: Your agency must have an active CommandCentral Evidence user subscription to use this application. Designed specifically for law enforcement, CommandCentral Capture makes it easy to securely capture video, images and audio from an iOS mobile device. Metadata is automatically added to captured evidence and on-device tagging helps keep the burden of data management to a minimum. Officers can also save time by using CommandCentral Capture to dictate their narratives from the field. The audio file is transcribed and available as the primary narrative in the CommandCentral Case View. All evidentiary data is isolated from personal data, making it inaccessible for tampering by other apps. Chain of custody is also established at the moment of capture, so you never need to subpoena devices. Content can be uploaded to CommandCentral Evidence at scene via a cellular connection or later from a WiFi access point for easy, immediate use alongside the rest of your agency's digital evidence.
