Our Solution

Vivid provides several features with which officers can capture information on the scene with greater speed, accuracy, and detail.

Improving upon existing note-taking methods

In most agencies around the U.S., officers and detectives respond to multiple calls a day and are often pressed for time when responding to events. They count on limited time - often just minutes - to gather all the relevant information to solve cases.

Today officers primarily rely on traditional pen and paper to collect information on the scene, which they rely on to compile police reports at the end of the day. Vivid can help by improving the speed, accuracy, and detail of note-taking in the field. Improved notes should help to reduce the frequency of police reporting errors.

Having a digital backup for handwritten information helps prevent data loss

Multimedia and voice recordings of evidence help create more accurate police reports

Sharing information instantly and accurately supports more effective collaboration

“I’m a big proponent of getting things down as quickly as possible [because] scenes change in an instant… there’s a lot lost”
