“Bodyworn provides a fully integrated officer and vehicle ecosystem for video capture, upload, redaction and
sharing. It leverages intelligent technology to ensure the officer is never asked to do something technology
can do for them. We start with the Bodyworn camera which is securely mounted in the uniform. As the officer
gets into their patrol car, Bodyworn automatically associates with the Rocket IOT in the trunk. Now the officer
and vehicle cameras including triggers are synchronized based on policy. During a traffic stop, a series of
triggers automate the Rocket IOT and Bodyworn to begin recording an offloading video. The digital media
evidence automatically offloads and is temporarily stored in the Rocket IOT. When the officer returns to any
department or station, video is quickly offloaded to the cloud through the systems Smart Way point. Individual
officers or groups of officers in the field can receive real time photo alerts on their Bodyworn or in-car video
systems.
During a foot pursuit Bodyworn sensors automatically trigger the device to begin recording. As an officer
unholsters their firearm, Bodyworn will activate recording while sending real-time alerts to dispatch.
Additionally it will capture 2 minutes of pre event recording to ensure all critical evidence is captured. In a high
priority event, the digital media evidence can off load to the car automatically using the cellular input. Because
seconds mean lives, intelligence matters. This includes intelligence that allows the system to integrate to the
department's computer aided dispatch system. When a 911 call is placed, an officer is assigned. Bodyworn
and Rocket IOT vehicle video will automatically activate when the officer arrives on scene, tagging it with all
relevant information for that call. Bodyworn has an added layer of officer safety protection.
In the event that an officer goes prone, the ecosystem automatically senses and sends alerts to officers within
proximity and dispatch enabling them to respond quickly. Dispatch and other assigned parties are able to view
a live streaming feed of officer's Bodyworn camera. The system’s mutual aid capability allows multiple
agencies to share BOLO alerts for emergencies and other life safety situations thereby creating entire
networks of smart cities for emergency response through (inaudible). Meanwhile AvailWeb allows
departments to view and manage all digital media evidence. With a rich interactive media playback, reporting
capabilities to support day-to-day operations and case management for operational efficiency. In order to
respond properly to video release requests, we have built in smart redaction to quickly automate the redaction
process. In a few short moments, digital evidence cases can be shared to the District Attorney and local news
outlets. A dedicated lawyer’s portal allows the DA to access media from all agencies within their district. A
temporary link can be provided to a news station for limited access.
Bodyworn — promoting officer safety while building trust between law enforcement and the community.”
