Observing, researching, learning, and enhancing are what we do. The history and its build-up to our current system illustrate this well. The design builds upon our technical expertise in policy driven video evidence management, creating an innovative law enforcement tool designed to automatically execute departmental policy for mobile digital video evidence capture. By design, Utility embraced the Recommendations and Lessons Learned in the landmark "Implementing a Body -Worn Camera Program" report, jointly issued by the US Department of Justice, and the Police Executive Research Forum, Our key takeaways from this, report include: • Not all Citizen Interaction should be recorded • Maintaining the Public Trust is paramount • Citizens have important Privacy Rights • Law Enforcement Actions are a matter of Public Record • Agencies Have Powerful Needs to Demonstrate Transparency, Openness, and Accountability Automated Policy -Based Recording., When certain police interactions with the public occur, it is important that those interactions are recorded as evidence. Utility's policy -based -recording - engine is the future. Our customers define their own policy -based automation rules and the Generation 2 Ecosystem ensures that the cameras will enact the ruies, when these predetermined events occur. Policies to start recordings could be any combination • Gun Shot detection by the BodyWorn TM 0 Officer running • Light bar on 0 Officer Down • Light bar on and driver door opens 0 Siren on • Enter geofence starts BodyWorn Tm and in- a Remove shotgun from, gun rack car wireless microphone recordling 0 Remote start command Utility's BodyWornTM is a GPS enabled device that automatically 'knows where it is' in real-time. Automatic activation for gunshot detection turns on the officer's BodyWorn TM (and officers in the vicinity), and protects transparency in the moment, as a pre -recording, is captured and stored.
