Twin Cities Police Department on the cutting edge with tamper-proof digital storage

TheBigPicture — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:32:46 +0000

Crime scene investigations have become more and more of an exact science. The standards for proper evidence collection are raised higher on a daily basis, with challenges from both the courts and defense attorneys alike.

SanDisk has created the SDWorm card, a tamper-proof digital storage device that we created a video for to demonstrate how it protects law enforcement officers by guaranteeing the legitimacy of evidence.

The Twin Cities Police Authority of Larkspur, California worked with us on this to set up a crime scene and provide us with testimonials on how this product could be beneficial to them. They are great people and we really enjoyed working with them. But make no mistake, if you mess around they will have you in handcuffs!

A while back The Big Picture Film & Video was presented with the opportunity to do something fun and creative for Copart, to explain their new benefits packages to employees. Video is a great way to get your internal / external messaging across, and creativity and even a good dose of humour is what will keep your viewers engaged while also retaining your message.
