Police Authorities

Scanning and data capture has become an integral part of sharing data between departments and forces in the last 12 months.

Since the Bichard Report, the need to make information available that may previously have only been in paper form has been vital. All kinds of records including those of Child Protection, Firearms, Forensics and Custody Records have been digitised via scanning and then indexed into a range of document management systems such as CATS.

Preview has worked with many forces up and down the UK to scan their records and has developed a specific set of processes to collect, collate, prepare, scan, index and load material for easy access.

Preview is unique in that all staff involved in the projects have been Police Vetted by at least one force and often by more.

Preview has often taken over scanning projects that have become unmanageable within the force itself or has worked with them to reduce the time taken and the resource allocated.

Preview’s Account Managers are highly skilled in identifying the requirements of different forces and have now built up an impressive track record in managing projects. All Police Forces with whom Preview work are happy to act as references to others considering scanning their material. A case study outlining Preview's work with a Police Authority is available here.
