Read MoreHide Full Article

Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI - Free Report) recently announced that the City of London Police selected VB400 body-worn cameras to boost the security of its officials. Police officers often have to work in highly-stressed environments and encounter unpredictable and potentially-dangerous situations. Officers are also exposed to various risks, including physical harm and injury, while on duty. Lack of proper evidence in those situations can put a question on official’s decision-making and attract public scrutiny and negative criticism.

By integrating VB400 in the service, the police department is addressing these challenges and limitations and providing personnels with appropriate support and resources. Motorola’s VB400 is a highly-durable body camera, capable of capturing valuable incident footage with full-shift recording and encryption that ensures evidence integrity.

The use of body-worn cameras improves transparency and accountability, which can foster trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. Advanced features of VB400 combined with the Pronto mobile digital policing platform will significantly improve real-time communication and collaboration, enhance the decision-making process and streamline the workflow.

Motorola is a leading communications equipment manufacturer and has strong market positions in bar-code scanning, wireless infrastructure gear and government communications. As a leading provider of mission-critical communication products and services worldwide, Motorola has ensured a steady revenue stream from this niche market. The company intends to boost its position in the public safety domain by entering into strategic alliances with other players in the ecosystem. It expects to record strong demand across video security and services, land mobile radio products, and related software while benefiting from a solid foundation.

The stock has gained 33.1% in the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 14.8%.
