Pimloc today announced a project pilot with Sussex Police and Microsoft. The collaboration aims to make multimedia redaction for subject access requests and digital evidence faster and more accurate through the implementation of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies.
The project will leverage Pimloc’s advanced AI-based video redaction platform, Secure Redact, to provide Sussex Police with innovative tools for faster and more accurate redaction, supported by a private tenant deployment onto Microsoft’s robust cloud platform, Microsoft Azure Cloud. Secure Redact provides Sussex Police with a scalable, enterprise-grade solution for multi-modal needs. Pimloc’s technology will be integrated into the police force’s existing infrastructure, enabling real-time anonymization of video footage. This will significantly enhance the force’s ability to complete redaction quicker, which means they can respond to DSARs (Data Subject Access Requests) more swiftly, ensuring that individuals’ personal data is protected.
Secure Redact will help the force meet its obligations and manage risks from compliance, oversight, and data management. It supports police transparency and accountability and helps to improve subject and victim outcomes, as well as allowing more digital evidence and data to be processed and shared.
Simon Randall, CEO of Pimloc, commented, “We are proud to collaborate with Sussex Police and Microsoft to deliver solutions that make a real difference in public safety. Our technology is designed to empower policing to be able to share more data and evidence whilst protecting personal and sensitive information that it holds within, facilitating more transparency, accountability, and improving victim outcomes.”
Sara Naylor, Head of Sussex Police’s Corporate Development Department, emphasized the transformative potential of this project. "This pilot has allowed us to empower our people with the service they require to carry out their policing duties. This initial trial with Pimloc is a significant step towards modernizing our digital infrastructure, enhancing our operational efficiency, and saving time.”
