Derbyshire Constabulary has launched a new way for people to share videos and dashcam footage of cases they are investigating.
Derbyshire Capture, external enables people to quickly and securely upload footage through its website.
Assistant chief constable Kem Mehmet said the new system would mean officers no longer needed to make appointments to view footage and would free them up to carry out investigations instead.

A controversial feature film about Brexit from a Nottinghamshire writer is being shown on Channel 4 tonight.
The Uncivil War, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch, looks at how the Vote Leave campaign was run.
Screenwriter James Graham, from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, said he hopes the drama will lead to a greater understanding of both sides of the Brexit argument.
He said the film had been shown a lot of support online.
He said: "There's been a huge amount of anxiety, understandably, which is sometimes expressed reasonably and other times less polite and questioning whether or not I should be doing it [the drama]."

Firefighters at the Belgrave Commercial Centre in Leicester say they are waiting for demolition services to arrive in order to make the building safe.
The fire started at about 22:00 last night and is now out but Stephen Moore, watch manager from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service told BBC Radio Leicester they need parts of the building to be demolished to "tackle the remaining pockets of fire inside".
He said they could hear the sound of concrete floors collapsing inside.
Shamira Ayoob who lives nearby said she had been receiving texts from worried family and friends since last night.
She added: "We're safe, we're not in danger but just sad that it's all gone."
Several businesses seem to have been damaged inside the centre but we are still waiting for confirmation from the emergency services.

There's been a big drop in the number of women in the East Midlands being screened for cervical cancer.
NHS figures for the last financial year show Leicester has one of the poorest response rates from women aged between 25 and 49.
It's been ranked the worst authority in the country outside London for uptake in that age group.
But there has been a better response elsewhere in our region, with Derbyshire being ranked second for response rates.
At its height more than 60 firefighters tackled the fire.

When he was finally rescued from the wreckage of a British Midland jet after the Kegworth air disaster, Stephen McCoy was given little chance of survival.
The 16-year-old all-Ireland boxing champion suffered such severe injuries he did not regain consciousness for 18 months and spent the next three years in hospital.
Now, 30 years after the plane came down on the M1 in Leicestershire, he has taken his first steps.
Of the 126 people on board the Boeing 737, 47 died and 74 were seriously injured.
The plane developed problems shortly after leaving Heathrow for Belfast on 8 January 1989 coming down just short of the runway at East Midlands Airport where it had diverted.
