The challenge
In 2023, the CCJC developed a new security system and procedures, transferring the management from the Sheriffs office to the CCJC itself. As a result, the process of redacting a video also became its responsibility.
As with many Counties across the United States, CCJC has seen an increase in public records requests, especially from news organisations and other media, and by members of staff.
CCJC needed a video redaction tool that would ensure compliance to protect the privacy of its member of staff, the juveniles in its care and the public. It also needed to protect its reputation and avoid fines due to breaches of legislation.
Due to the nature of CCJC business, often the footage includes large groups or busy areas. On average, CCJC is receiving five requests a month, and each video which is shared as a result of these, must comply with data protection laws to protect the personal data of the juveniles, and those not involved, in the footage.
