Redaction Services for Law Enforcement

VeriPic provides professional video redaction services designed specifically for law enforcement agencies. Protect identities, meet release deadlines, and eliminate redaction backlogs with a fast, accurate, and secure service that works seamlessly with VeriPic’s Digital Evidence Manager®.

The Redaction Challenges Agencies Face

Does it take your team 5 hours to redact a single video?

Are FOIA requests piling up? Is your redaction backlog delaying transparency efforts and costing staff time they do not have?

Redaction backlogs are crushing agency resources. Officers and staff spend hours doing frame by frame editing instead of casework.

Public release deadlines are missed. FOIA requests, prosecutor reviews, and media inquiries get delayed because redaction takes too long.

Inconsistent results create risk. Manual redaction leaves room for errors, missed faces, exposed license plates, or unredacted audio that should have been protected.

VeriPic’s Redaction Service handles video redaction for law enforcement agencies, fast, secure, and accurate. Submit your body worn camera, mobile phone, surveillance footage, and more, and receive release ready files back in your Digital Evidence Manager case.

How It Works

Upload your video to Digital Evidence Manager, select what needs protection, and submit your request. Receive your release ready file back in your case, typically within one business day.

No software to learn. No editing required. Just submit and receive your redacted file.

The service is designed to work within Digital Evidence Manager for streamlined workflows.
