Insight Public Sector to Outfit Memphis Police Vehicles With Mobile and Video Technology
September 30 2015 - 08:30AM
Insight Public Sector, a division of Insight Enterprises Inc.
(Nasdaq:NSIT), announced the launch of a project to equip 900
Memphis Police Department vehicles with rugged laptops, cameras and
the required mounting to capture audio and video in and around the
vehicles.
The $15 million award will be completed in phases, with the
900-car fleet to be fully outfitted by 2019. The initial phase
calls for 400 new vehicles to be outfitted by early 2016, with 125
additional vehicles completed in each of the subsequent years.
Insight's extensive experience in implementing and servicing
public safety based solutions drove the award of this significant
contract.
"The Insight team works across multiple technology based
platforms to create best in breed customized solutions for Public
Safety professionals," said Dave Cristal, VP/GM of Insight Public
Sector. "We feel privileged to work in concert with our key
partners to develop, configure, and deploy a solution that meets
the specific needs of the Memphis Police Department."
"In the last few years, many agencies have deployed body cameras
and dash cams to its officers in an effort to create greater
transparency. Both body cameras and dash cams have been credited
with changing the way officers and the public interact with one
another. I also believe that the introduction of these systems to
this department has the potential to improve community relations,
lower the number of citizen complaints, defend officers against
false accusations and provide greater agency accountability," said
Tony Armstrong, director, Memphis Police Department.
The solution Insight is deploying with the Memphis Police
Department is powered by Getac hardware and Veretos software.
"This in-car video system will help create an efficient and
effective computing and video capture solution for the city that
will significantly aide in evidence collection, officer reporting
and overall productivity," said Scott Shainman, senior director of
sales for Getac, Inc in North America. "The system will include a
Getac V110 rugged convertible mounted in the car for easy viewing
of dispatch and reporting applications, in addition to Getac's
Veretos™ Mobile Video System."
