Case Study: University of Texas at Arlington achieves 25% time savings and streamlined investigations with Genetec Clearance (Genetec)

Campus police streamline investigation management with Genetec Clearance

The University of Texas at Arlington faced a growing burden of manually managing digital evidence across its 420‑acre campus—investigators had to offload video and in‑car recordings, collect phones and social media clips, convert files for external agencies, and maintain strict chain of custody while also worrying about mounting storage needs. To address this, the University of Texas at Arlington deployed Genetec Clearance, a cloud‑based investigation management solution from Genetec.

Genetec implemented Genetec Clearance to enable role‑based collaboration, secure cloud storage, keyword tagging, audit trails and automatic file‑format conversion, streamlining evidence compilation and sharing. As a result, UTA reports a 25% reduction in time spent handling evidence, easier search and custody tracking, and expects to free roughly 75% of long‑term archive storage—improving investigator efficiency and external collaboration.
