EvidenceWorks Integration

6B partners with UK police forces, justice agencies, and public-sector technology providers to design, develop, and maintain high-quality integrations with EvidenceWorks. Whether you’re automating evidence imports, synchronising case data, or enabling secure cross-system sharing, we ensure your integration is reliable, compliant, and built to meet demanding operational needs.

Our aim is to help organisations modernise evidence management processes by providing seamless, trusted data exchange between EvidenceWorks and the tools used by officers, analysts, and support teams.

Understanding EvidenceWorks

EvidenceWorks is a digital evidence management platform used across UK policing and public safety organisations to securely store, organise, and manage multimedia evidence. It centralises video, audio, images, documents, seized data, and third-party submissions into a secure environment that supports investigations, disclosure, and judicial processes.

EvidenceWorks provides a flexible API layer that enables external systems to upload evidence, update metadata, link files to cases, retrieve information, and trigger workflow actions. Authentication typically uses token-based mechanisms with granular permissions to ensure access is controlled, auditable, and aligned with criminal justice governance.

The platform integrates with case management systems, RMS platforms, digital forensics tools, citizen and partner portals, and enterprise analytics systems. EvidenceWorks also maintains chain-of-custody details, audit trails, and retention controls, supporting compliance with investigative, legal, and organisational requirements.

Our EvidenceWorks Integration Process

We begin with a discovery phase to understand your operational goals and integration use cases — such as automated evidence ingestion, metadata updates, case linking, or scheduled synchronisation. We map these requirements to the relevant EvidenceWorks API endpoints, data models, permissions, and workflow capabilities.

Our integration architects design a secure, scalable solution aligned with your infrastructure and the EvidenceWorks delivery model. Key considerations include authentication flows, evidence routing, data volumes, retention requirements, anonymisation or redaction processes, and audit expectations. Integrations can be delivered as embedded modules or standalone services using REST APIs, encrypted communication, and structured workflow logic.

To streamline development, we use 6B’s library of reusable integration components including authentication modules, API clients, file-handling pipelines, metadata mappers, and monitoring utilities. All integrations undergo thorough testing in controlled environments to validate functionality, security, performance, and compliance.

During deployment, we support configuration, go-live coordination, and operational rollout. Once in service, we provide ongoing support, monitoring, and maintenance to ensure your integration remains stable, compliant, and aligned with future EvidenceWorks updates and evolving public-sector governance.

Benefits of EvidenceWorks Integration

Integrating your system with EvidenceWorks enhances investigative efficiency by automating evidence transfer, reducing manual upload effort, and ensuring consistency across platforms. Metadata synchronisation and structured case associations improve data accuracy and reduce administrative burden for officers and support staff.

Real-time or scheduled workflows support faster case building, more effective collaboration between teams, and improved situational awareness. Evidence moves securely across connected systems with full preservation of chain-of-custody and audit records.

For solution providers, EvidenceWorks integration increases product adoption and value across policing and justice environments. Standards-aligned interoperability supports scalable deployments and demonstrates a strong commitment to quality, security, and operational readiness.
