organization invests in video security technology to enhance road
safety
With over four million journeys taking place across England’s
motorways and major roads each day, National Highways has equipped
its traffic officers with VB400 body-worn cameras from Motorola
Solutions to ensure transparency and increase safety for officers
and citizens alike.
National Highways’ traffic officers help to keep traffic flowing
smoothly and are responsible for keeping road users safe. The
officers will wear the body-worn cameras while conducting patrols
across England’s strategic road network (SRN) which comprises 4,300
miles of motorway and major roads in England. The cameras increase
accountability by objectively recording roadside interactions and
capturing video footage if an incident occurs.
“Our traffic officers patrol England’s motorways and major roads
24 hours a day, seven days a week and are at the front line to keep
people safe and help the network run smoothly,” said Mel Clarke,
Customer Service Director, National Highways. “The body-worn
cameras protect citizens and our traffic officers and are now part
of the officer’s uniform. This investment forms part of our
commitment to maintaining the safety of England’s roads and
providing greater operational visibility for our staff and the
general public.”
The rugged VB400 is designed to withstand rigorous use in all
situations and captures high-quality video and audio in all weather
and light conditions. The wide angle lens records clear footage
from the officer’s viewpoint and features an extended battery life
of up to 12 hours. The deployment also includes Motorola Solutions'
VideoManager evidence management software to upload and manage the
recorded video securely in the cloud.
“The VB400 body-worn cameras are developed locally in the U.K.
and will support the safety of millions of passengers who drive
across England’s major roads during the day and night,” said Fergus
Mayne, Country Manager, U.K. & Ireland at Motorola Solutions.
“By deploying the cameras to all traffic officers, National
Highways has committed to the highest levels of safety for everyone
who travels and works on the roads.”
National Highways follows a series of body-worn camera
deployments across U.K. enterprises and public safety organizations
including ambulance trusts across NHS England, Police Scotland,
Lancashire Constabulary and retailer, the Co-op.
