Quick Summary

The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically the US Park Police (USPP), has issued a Sole Source Justification for the procurement of a Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) and Body Worn Camera (BWC) solution. This procurement aims to establish a secure, integrated hardware-to-software ecosystem for federal law enforcement operations, ensuring the integrity and admissibility of digital evidence.

  • A FedRAMP High authorized, cloud-native Software as a Service (SaaS) platform.
  • Support for multiple ingestion methods, including BWCs and TASER devices.
  • Features such as evidence management, redaction, auto-transcription, search, evidence sharing, audit trails, and robust data security controls.
  • Ruggedized Body Worn Cameras with integrated LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS connectivity.
  • Seamless integration between hardware (BWCs, TASERs) and the software ecosystem.
