Case Study: South Yorkshire Police strengthens investigations and saves time with NICE Investigate

South Yorkshire Police Strengthens Community Engagement, Reduces Costs and Improves Officer Efficiency with NICE Investigate

South Yorkshire Police partnered with NICE Public Safety & Justice to address the time, cost, and inefficiency of collecting CCTV and other digital evidence for investigations. Officers often had to travel to crime scenes, copy footage to physical media, and then deal with unplayable video files and multiple systems, which slowed down investigations.

Using NICE Investigate, a cloud-based digital evidence management platform, South Yorkshire Police moved to a fully electronic evidence-gathering process. The solution enabled remote CCTV requests, automatic transcoding, and one-login case building, improving collaboration with businesses and communities while saving time and money; in one firearms incident, video was obtained and reviewed in 30 minutes instead of potentially taking hours.
