When it comes to microfilm digitization, law enforcement agencies face one defining obstacle: security. For years, departments have delayed modernization out of concern for losing control over highly sensitive records. We’re talking arrest reports, personnel files, confidential case data—documents that absolutely cannot be compromised.

The Security Dilemma

Agencies know microfilm is deteriorating. They know it’s inefficient. But sending decades of confidential information to an outside vendor? That’s a non-starter.

The risks are real:

  • Chain of custody disruptions
  • Unauthorized access to case-sensitive material
  • Data breaches during transport
  • Noncompliance with DOJ and NIST security protocols

The result? Critical records stay trapped in film, degrading while departments struggle with slow access and inefficient retrieval.

The Breakthrough: ScanPro All-In-One

The ScanPro All-In-One flips the script. Instead of sending microfilm out, it brings the digitization process in-house. Sensitive data never leaves the building—and law enforcement agencies retain total control over their records at every stage.

Here’s what that means:

🛡️ On-Site Control, Start to Finish
Place the desktop scanner directly inside your secure facility. Only authorized staff handle records, ensuring no breaks in chain of custody.

⚡ Immediate Access & Error Correction
Digitize on your schedule. If an image needs to be rescanned, do it immediately—no wait, no vendor recall, no external risk.

📸 High-Speed, Archival-Quality Imaging
120 images per minute. A 26-megapixel camera. Get professional-grade results without compromising security.

⏱️ Work on Your Terms
Digitize during off-hours, between caseloads, or as staffing allows. Total flexibility—zero disruption.

Why It Matters

Agencies are already seeing the shift. One records supervisor summed it up:
“Our ScanPro has made our lives so much easier… what would have taken months to accomplish was drastically shortened to only two short weeks.”

Digitization no longer means risk—it means resolution.

The real question isn’t ‘how can we protect our data while digitizing?’ It’s ‘how much longer can we afford not to digitize?’

Ready to safeguard your records and your reputation?

Let’s talk about how ScanPro All-In-One can bring secure microfilm digitization to your agency—without compromise.
