The Future of Policing Envisioned for Today’s Safety

COLOGNE, Germany – November 22, 2016 – Motorola Solutions continues to showcase its industry-leading vision for the future of public safety through its virtual reality-powered public safety command center future concept, an innovative look ahead that complements the latest tools for translating data into actionable intelligence for public safety.
 
VIRTUAL COMMAND CENTER FUTURE CONCEPT
The virtual command center demonstration immerses a participant into an incident scene in the role of a command center supervisor. Using virtual reality and eye-tracking technologies, the participant can navigate through video and data feeds from multiple sources to quickly coordinate resources and share information with officers on scene, improving the safety of first responders and the quality of an agency’s response. The virtual command center proof of concept uses eye-interaction technology from Eyefluence, a Motorola Solutions Venture Capital investment, to envision the future of public safety.
 
INTELLIGENCE-LED POLICING SOLUTIONS
Among the most effective tools for police are technologies that centralize data from multiple disparate sources and turn it into actionable intelligence, such as Motorola Solutions’ CommandCentral solutions that will be demonstrated at PMRExpo as well. By centralizing and simplifying data management, these advanced software applications help to enhance planning, provide more informed operational support and enable faster crime investigations. CommandCentral Aware is able to aggregate multiple data sources such as live video feeds, social media activity or nationwide databases in order to deliver a single, real-time operational view to command center personnel. This allows intelligence analysts to view multiple feeds on one screen and provide frontline officers with critical real-time information on suspects and vehicles, such as black-listed license plate numbers...
