Manchester city leaders have approved a new cloud-based storage system for police body-camera footage.
The Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a five-year contract during its August 4 meeting. The agreement will move the Manchester Police Department’s digital evidence to a web-hosted storage platform.
The new system is intended to provide a more reliable and secure way to store body-camera video and other digital evidence.
Officials say the upgrade will also improve long-term access to footage as the police department continues to expand its use of digital evidence.
The move to cloud-based storage is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to modernize its digital evidence system and ensure police video can be securely maintained and accessed when needed.
