As an operations manager in a busy venue, you understand that large events can generate numerous incidents. The most challenging part often comes after the event concludes, as security and operations teams work to organize and link evidence to these incidents amidst the chaos.
The Challenge of Post-Event Evidence Management
After an event, it’s crucial to ensure that all relevant personnel and incidents are accurately documented. If an incident involves law enforcement or potential legal action, the stakes are even higher. Your incident management system (IMS) must effectively function as a case management tool, linking video footage, timestamps, and other critical evidence.
Many security managers report spending hours post-event sorting through incidents and compiling evidence. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors.
