“The health, safety and wellbeing of our crews are of utmost
importance. We want to take every precaution possible to ensure
that our frontline people are safe whilst at work”, said Garrett
Emmerson, chief executive officer at London Ambulance Service. “We
are confident that video security will deter abusive and
threatening behavior and improve the safety and confidence of our
emergency medical crews.”
Medics can rely on the Motorola Solutions VB400 body camera to
record incidents when patients or members of the public become
aggressive or abusive. The footage will allow for ‘independent
witness’ evidence, providing transparency and accountability for
the public and ambulance crews. The new body-worn cameras will be
used alongside a back-office evidence management software from
Motorola Solutions to securely manage and process captured video
footage.
London Ambulance Service is the busiest emergency ambulance
service in the U.K., serving one of the world’s most dynamic and
diverse cities. It plays a leading role in giving access to
emergency and urgent care in the capital and is striving to ensure
patients receive the right response, in the right place, at the
right time. The Ambulance Service covers an area of 620 square
miles, with 8000 people who work or volunteer for the service.
“It’s vital to ensure the safety of citizens and ambulance crews
alike. This investment in video security will play a crucial role
to protect communities and London Ambulance Service crews who are
on the frontline every day, saving lives”, said Mark Schmidl,
senior vice president at Motorola Solutions.
