THE Police Complaints Authority (PCA) now has a newly digitalised Records Management Unit (RMU).
On Thursday, the PCA in a press release stated, “The RMU has pioneered a shift from the robust reliance on a paper-intensive process to the digitalisation of its records. The RMU serves as the Secured Access Documentation Centre of the PCA and performs a variety of functions.”
It stated, “The RMU represents the PCA’s commitment to innovation as we deliver our mandate of independent civilian oversight of law enforcement in Trinidad and Tobago.”
The functions of the RMU include:
- Digitising of records as well as information and evidence in the form of video, photographic images and audio, obtained during the course of an investigation;
- Maintaining the integrity and quality control of records;
- Modernising the evidence capture process;
- Relieving investigations officers of time-intensive administrative duties, thereby allowing them to redirect their focus exclusively on their core functions; and
- Keeping information centralised and accessible to authorised users at all times in compliance with all chain of custody protocols.
