Prior to the procurement, Police Scotland conducted a national
public consultation on body camera deployment with 81% of 9,000
responses agreeing that it would increase public confidence in
policing.
“The introduction of body worn video will transform policing in
Scotland, and a national roll-out is a key priority,” said Jane
Connors, Deputy Chief Constable, Police Scotland. “Body worn video
can significantly enhance public confidence and support officer and
public safety by providing effective and transparent evidence of
police and public actions.”
“Body worn video will also improve the quality of evidence
presented in court to deliver faster justice for victims by
increasing early guilty pleas and reducing time spent at court for
victims, witnesses and police officers,” said Connors.
The VB400 reliably captures high-quality video and audio for an
objective record of events, helping front-line officers to document
incidents and increase trust with the communities they serve.
Footage is automatically uploaded to VideoManager for secure
storage that is tracked and auditable, protecting the chain of
custody so that the police, public and judicial systems can be
assured of the integrity of video evidence.
“We are proud to support Police Scotland with its nationwide
deployment of the VB400 body camera, an innovative technology
solution developed in Scotland that will help to make communities
safer,” said Mark Schmidl, senior vice president for International
Sales, Motorola Solutions.
Police Scotland joins other U.K. police forces and global law
enforcement agencies, including French National Police, Lithuanian
National Police and Austrian police forces, that have chosen
Motorola Solutions’ body worn camera and evidentiary solutions.
Police Scotland also relies on Motorola Solutions' nationwide
Airwave emergency services network, TETRA radios and Pronto Digital
Policing application.
