Rapid platform
Rapid enables forces to receive and manage requests, handle requestor payments, and disclose securely — at zero cost to the force.
Police forces are under increasing pressure to deliver RTC disclosures securely, quickly, and in line with strict data-protection standards.
Rapid, developed by NetWatch, is already trusted by several UK police forces, where our open-source intelligence tools support intelligence teams in live crime investigations.
We are now extending that trusted capability to Disclosure Teams — providing a free, secure platform to manage requests end-to-end, remove payment administration burden, and maintain a clear, auditable disclosure process..
Rapid transforms RTC disclosure requests into a frictionless process – no allocating payments, no emails, no post, no risk.
Disclosure requests are reviewed securely in Rapid once the requestor has paid a search fee (if applicable).
Select from customised pre-set responses – from listing any available evidence – and requesting appropriate payment, to placing on hold due to court date, or advising no material available.
Once payment has been made, the case will again appear in the workflow, and users can disclose evidence securely in Rapid from the same place.
NetWatch tools are actively used in several UK forces to support OSINT and digital intelligence investigations. Rapid builds on this proven track record of delivering secure, policing-ready technology.
