Dorset Police have introduced a new tool to transform the way that the Force handles digital media evidence.

Businesses and members of the public can register the location of their CCTV cameras or other recording devices on the NiCE Investigate Community Portal. When a crime is committed, officers can see if there are any cameras in the area that might have captured footage and request it by email. Footage can be submitted electronically, removing the need to use a CD or USB drive.

Dorset Police have no access to the cameras and any footage provided is voluntary.
