Community release

Release redacted footage to the public through your agency's release page. Release timing is set by agency policy.4

Public records requests.

Dendrix Evidence includes a request queue for public records requests, with redaction tools and response templates.

Footage is released by the agency that owns it. Device logs, buffer logs, activation events and Quiet Mode status are proprietary system telemetry and are not part of the evidentiary record.5

Agencies can request an export of proprietary system telemetry for a specific device through their Public Safety Advisor.

See the platform with your own workflows.

A Public Safety Advisor will walk your team through Sentry, Dendrix Evidence and the Officer Safety Plan.
