Deployment is one of the largest roll-outs of
body-worn cameras globally
Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) today announced that the French
Ministry of the Interior will deploy 30,000 of Motorola Solutions’
VB400 body-worn cameras to its National Police and the Gendarmerie
(military police) to modernize policing. The roll-out of body-worn
cameras, valued at $17.5 million (€15 million), is one of the
largest ever deployed and is expected to start in July 2021. The
deployment will support the French government’s goal to improve
trust and safety in policing by having all law enforcement officers
wearing body-worn cameras.
"Maintaining safety and integrity in all interactions between
police and the community is a major priority for the National
Police and the Gendarmerie, and video technology plays a vital role
in achieving this," said Jack Molloy, executive vice president,
product and worldwide sales. "After a rigorous testing and
competitive process, our solutions ranked superior in performance,
usability and the ability to seamlessly integrate into the
workflows of France's frontline police. We are proud to be their
chosen partner and are committed to ongoing innovation with the
French Government.”
The rugged VB400 is designed to protect both the police and the
public with its intuitive recording function and the extended
battery life that lasts beyond the shift with up to 12 hours of
recording. Motorola Solutions will also provide a broad range of
accessories including helmet cameras for motorcycle officers to
capture high-definition footage even when riding at high-speed.
Future innovations can include Holster Aware which automatically
activates a recording and live-streams body-worn camera footage if
an officer draws his or her weapon as well as an Android-compatible
application which enables officers to view and categorize footage
in the field.
The cameras will be deployed with VideoManager evidence
management software which is essential to improving efficiency as
video increasingly becomes part of an agency’s workflow. The
cameras seamlessly upload recorded video directly into
VideoManager, where it is securely stored in-country and organized
using time, date and location, together with incident data added by
officers.
"This partnership follows a number of significant body-worn
camera deployments,” said Jack Molloy. "Since moving into the
body-worn camera market, we have quickly become a global player due
to our differentiated solution that integrates into our
mission-critical ecosystem spanning voice communications, command
center software, and video security and analytics.”
This is the latest in a series of global body-worn camera
deployments both within enterprises and law enforcement agencies.
Additional deployments include: Co-op in the U.K. as well as Metro
Nashville Police, Romania National Police and London Ambulance
Services.
