Business Wire
Panasonic Solutions Company, a provider of rugged mobile
technology solutions for law enforcement, today announced that the
Florida Highway Patrol has selected its Toughbook® Arbitrator®
Mobile Digital Video System for statewide vehicle deployment. More
than 700 State Trooper vehicles have already been outfitted by
Panasonic with the digital video solution as part of the Patrol’s
initiatives to streamline evidence collection and management
processes and enhance officer safety. An additional 300 units will
be installed as part of this engagement.
The Toughbook Arbitrator is a complete digital video system for
evidence capture and management. It is the only all digital
solid-state video system, capturing up to 2500-hours of
high-quality video to four Class 10 SD Memory Cards. The Toughbook
Arbitrator system compresses files for easy storage and fast,
secure and auditable wireless transmission of full-motion video.
All video and audio data files can be indexed and searched for
rapid access by time, date, officer, vehicle or incident. Like all
Panasonic Toughbook solutions, the Toughbook Arbitrator system is
built to endure the rugged environments of law enforcement use,
with a shock-resistant, multi-function mount that can withstand
vibration and frequent physical shocks to the vehicle.
“The Florida Highway Patrol purchased the Panasonic Toughbook
Arbitrator system to enhance our ability to capture and convict
impaired drivers, while enhancing the safety of our troopers,” said
Col. David H. Brierton, Jr., director of the Florida Highway
Patrol. “We now have a useful tool benefiting our troopers, agency
and the communities we serve.”
The investment in a digital video solution extends beyond just
the hardware. It includes training and back office infrastructure.
To aid the Florida Highway Patrol with a speedy deployment,
Panasonic Solutions Company provided comprehensive engagement
support, including vehicle installation, server implementation,
training, and professional services.
“In-vehicle digital video is no longer optional. It’s mandatory
for law enforcement,” said Scott French, vice president of public
sector sales for Panasonic Solutions Company. “Innovators, such as
the Florida Highway Patrol, recognize how a complete digital
evidence capture and management system can help increase officer
safety and protect departments from false allegations and frivolous
lawsuits, while increasing the likelihood of successful
prosecution.”
In 2004, the International Association of Chiefs of Police
(IACP) conducted law enforcement’s most comprehensive study of
in-vehicle camera usage1. The results highlighted the dramatic
impact of video systems on officer safety and judicial process. The
survey found that 33-percent of officers felt safer with the
in-vehicle cameras. Additionally, 48-percent of officers reported
that citizens were less aggressive when they knew an incident was
being recorded. Of prosecutors surveyed in the study, more than
91-percent said they used in-car video evidence in court and that
the evidence enhanced their ability to obtain convictions and
increased the number of guilty pleas before a case went to
trial.
The Panasonic Toughbook Arbitrator System will be demonstrated
at the 118th Annual Conference and Exposition of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police., October 22nd through 26th at
McCormick Place West, Chicago, Ill. Registered event attendees may
visit the Panasonic booth at 3303.
