The advancement of digital technology provides police agencies with an opportunity to realize significant operational efficiencies, which will enhance service across Manitoba communities, noted the minister. The COP program allows Manitoba law enforcement agencies to modernize by adopting mobile digital evidence-management technology. This technology allows officers to take statements, upload video, picture and audio evidence, and record notes digitally. The information is then stored using cloud computing, with information readily accessible from the application and via desktop computer or mobile device.

Funding will be expanded to provide other police forces with funding of $375,000 to be divided between them to support local technology needs to better equip 150 of their officers in communities throughout Manitoba.
