Company is redefining how law enforcement and public safety work today

TORONTO, CANADA – January 22, 2015 — /BackupReview.info/ — SceneDoc Inc., a Toronto-based law enforcement and public safety software provider, today announced the completion of a $4 million Series A round of funding led by iGan Partners (Toronto, Ontario), with participation from Motorola Solutions Venture Capital (Schaumburg, Illinois) and a group of angel investors.

SceneDoc is a smartphone/tablet-based software platform that provides law enforcement and a variety of public safety personnel a highly secure, accurate and consistent means of documenting crime, accident and other incident scenes. Dubbed “public safety’s trusted digital notebook,” SceneDoc provides much more than simple documentation capabilities. With a highly configurable ‘mobile-first’ application coupled with cloud-based data backup and administration, SceneDoc enables near real-time communication between officers in the field, dispatchers, command centers and other public safety/law enforcement agencies. This results in a more efficient evidence collection and reporting process, increases preparedness and improves officer safety.

The company will use the funding to expand its sales and marketing efforts, bring its SceneDoc investigation and field documentation platform to new global markets, and accelerate product development.

“This funding will enable SceneDoc to realize its goal of becoming the de facto technology platform that unifies field documentation and communication,” said Alex Kottoor, co-founder and CEO of SceneDoc. “We’re seeing tremendous demand, on a global scale, from law enforcement and public safety agencies for a mobile-first solution that creates efficiencies and enhances preparedness for supporting agencies and specialized units that are often called to respond to an incident.”

According to Sam Ifergan, president of iGan Partners, “SceneDoc is well positioned to be the leader in mobile-first law enforcement software. We believe law enforcement is just beginning to make the leap into mobility. SceneDoc’s software is extremely easy-to-use and dramatically reduces the amount of time spent processing a scene and cataloging evidence. This creates real value for police and other public safety agencies that have made or are planning to make significant investments in outfitting their personnel with handheld devices.”

“Keeping field experts in the field policing and interacting with the community while the information they collect gets shared quickly with colleagues can substantially help law enforcement resolve crimes faster,” said Tom Guthrie, vice president, Smart Public Safety Solutions at Motorola Solutions. “The new frontier of transforming mounds of paper into actionable information that SceneDoc enables will make any profession that relies on field documentation more effective.”
