Overview

ShareX is the department-approved application for capturing and uploading visual evidence. Officers should use ShareX when documenting:
  • Radar readings
  • Traffic-camera results
  • CCTV footage
  • Vehicle or suspect information
  • Evidence found during an investigation
  • MDT records requiring visual documentation
  • Other relevant on-screen information
The department provides access to a FiveManage media-upload service. Officers are not expected to purchase their own subscription.

Download ShareX

Download ShareX from the official website.
Never post, stream, photograph, or publicly share the department’s FiveManage authorization token. Only obtain the current token through an approved private department channel.

Ensure that FiveManage is the selected custom uploader.
7

Configure Automatic Upload Tasks

Open the ShareX task menus and enable:After Capture Tasks
  • Upload image to host
After Upload Tasks
  • Copy URL to clipboard
This allows ShareX to upload the captured image and automatically copy the evidence link.
Selecting Custom Image Uploader does not automatically enable uploads. The Upload image to host after-capture task must also be enabled.

​
Capturing Evidence

To capture a selected area:
  1. Open ShareX.
  2. Select Capture → Region, or use your configured region-capture hotkey.
  3. Select the relevant portion of the screen.
  4. Review the image for unrelated or sensitive information.
  5. Complete the capture.
  6. Wait for ShareX to upload the image.
  7. Paste the copied FiveManage link into the appropriate MDT report, evidence entry, or case file.
Use a region capture whenever possible. This keeps the evidence focused and reduces the chance of exposing unrelated applications, messages, or personal information.

​
Evidence Standards

ShareX must only be used for legitimate department or investigative purposes. When capturing evidence:
  • Include enough surrounding information to establish context.
  • Make sure names, plates, radar readings, or other relevant details are readable.
  • Do not intentionally crop out information that changes the meaning of the evidence.
  • Do not edit an image in a way that misrepresents what occurred.
  • Redact unrelated personal or out-of-character information before uploading.
  • Do not upload memes, personal images, or unrelated server content.
  • Attach the resulting link to the correct report or evidence entry.
  • Preserve the original capture when requested by a supervisor or the Department of Justice.
ShareX includes blur and pixelation tools, but these should only be used to protect unrelated sensitive information—not to conceal relevant evidence.

​
Troubleshooting

If the configuration appears correct but uploads continue to fail, take a screenshot of the error message without displaying the authorization token and contact a supervisor.

​
Setup Complete

Once your test image uploads successfully, the FiveManage link opens correctly, and uploaded URLs are copied to your clipboard, ShareX is ready for department use.
