New video technology delivers real-time footage and alerts
officers to critical events happening around them
LONDON, Oct. 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today
announced that Lancashire
Police will deploy the M500 in-car video solution across
its entire fleet of vehicles. The new video solution observes the
vehicle's environment from multiple viewpoints to provide officers
with real-time awareness of their surroundings, whilst capturing
video evidence that can provide accurate incident documentation to
aid investigations.
"Police officers face unpredictable challenges and fast-moving
events every day," said Chris Hardy,
chief superintendent for Lancashire Police. "The ability to respond
quickly is paramount. The Motorola Solutions M500 can live-stream
video back to the control room, enabling our team to build a clear
picture of unfolding events by giving us eyes on the scene. It is a
highly configurable, easy-to-use system that can automate processes
such as triggering video recording when the blue lights are
activated, helping officers to focus on the job at hand."
Lancashire Police has made a
number of recent investments in new technological and
organizational capabilities. Since its establishment in
June 2023, Lancashire Police's Roads Crime Team and Roads
Policing Unit, with support from wider police departments in the
county, has been integral to efforts to locate and recover vehicles
and assist with road traffic collisions. The deployment of the M500
in-car video solution will provide front-line officers with an
additional tool to help fulfill its priority of making the roads
safer for the community.
The M500's interface is designed to be intuitive for officers to
operate in demanding situations. Video captured is automatically
uploaded to the Motorola Solutions VideoManager for
secure, auditable storage that is intelligently organized. Recorded
footage is tracked and audited to protect the chain of custody so
that the police, public and judicial systems can be confident in
the integrity of video evidence. VideoManager's consolidated
incident overview also helps to ensure that incident information,
including footage recorded by the M500, as well as Lancashire Police's body cameras, can be
easily viewed from one location.
"Video security solutions are a vital tool for police officers
as they work to help keep their communities safe," said
Fergus Mayne, U.K. and Ireland country manager, Motorola Solutions.
"As part of the Motorola Solutions safety and security ecosystem,
the M500 connects with Lancashire
Police's existing mission-critical technologies, providing
productivity and agility to the forces operational response to help
protect people, property and places."
Motorola Solutions has been trusted by Lancashire Police throughout its digital
transformation, supporting the force's evidence capture, data
storage and workflow efficiency. The M500 will complement the
force's existing technology infrastructure which includes Motorola
Solutions' Pronto Digital Policing application, TETRA
radios and VB400 body cameras.
