With the continuing growth of body worn and in car video, law enforcement agencies nationwide are seeing an increased public demand for officers’ generated video through public disclosure requests. How do agency personnel with little-to-no knowledge of video technology ensure sensitive information is not released to the general public?
LER strives to provide a basic understanding of video editing software as it applies to redacting sensitive information in videos generated by Law Enforcement agencies. We will consult with you to determine your requirements for Public Disclosure and tailor our classes to your personnel, including hands-on experience and hardware/software recommendations. Why outsource your footage to an outside company when we can teach your personnel how to perform the redactions themselves?
The Cost of Redacting comes down to simple economics. What costs more:
The goal of LER isn’t to treat the symptoms (creation of extra apparatuses to deal with the new redacting demands), it’s to help your agency solve the demands in a way that is cost effective and efficient with the framework you already have in place!

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. For people who are computer literate but are lacking knowledge in what they need to operate quickly and efficiently. The 'guess work' has been taken out of the equation. We can provide you with the necessary equipment upon request.
A strong understanding of editing software will be neccessary to be effeicent at redacting. The beginners course get the participants to a working knowledge and will help them practice.
There's more than one way to cook an egg... During the course of the beginners seminar, multple ways of redacting will be taught. But, it will really all rely on department policy and public disclosure laws that will determine which version will be used by the employee.
"Jeez I'm going to forget all this stuff"... Video Redacting is a learned skill and takes practice and just like with many things in life, newly obtained skills are hard to retain without practice.
Once the course is completed, You'll be sent off with course materials that can help refresh your memory.
