LEEDIR is an eyewitness photo and video platform that can be activated for FREE by law enforcement and relief agencies during a major emergency event. The LEEDIR technology enables law enforcement and relief agencies to receive and rapidly analyze eyewitness videos and photos submitted by citizens during large emergency events. As submissions are uploaded, investigators at the LASD Cyber Investigations Center (CIC) will review, manage, analyze, and distribute the photos and videos as they would during a real major emergency event, to simulate better information flow to their emergency response teams and to “gather evidence.”

On April 10, 2014, law enforcement agencies around the nation were invited to submit photos and videos to the LEEDIR platform through the LEEDIR website (leedir.us). Participation in this exercise was requested to help simulate a level of eyewitness photo and video submissions that would be expected during a major emergency event. NPSTC participated in the demonstration by uploading photos to the site as well. During the event, analytics and statistics will be published.
