Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Angelique Foster has invested in a new digital evidence management system (DEMS) to boost the Derbyshire Constabulary's ability to collect, store and share evidence.
The contract, worth nearly £2.2m, will be delivered by Axon over a five-year period. The Commissioner's decision to award the contract followed a robust procurement process.
The new system will save time during investigations, speed up submission of files and ultimately improve the service provided to victims.
Police and Crime Commissioner Angelique Foster said: "I fully support this type of investment. Technology is critical to the Constabulary's ability to solve investigations and bring criminals to justice, making it imperative that officers have the latest, most efficient systems available. The DEMS system will speed up investigations, reduce the amount of officer time involved, enable easier and shared access to files which ultimately will provide victims with a better service."
