Motorola Solutions<\/a>\u00a0(NYSE: MSI), a global leader in public safety and enterprise security, today announced that\u00a0ScotRail<\/a>\u00a0has deployed more than 1,000\u00a0VB400<\/a>\u00a0body cameras across its rail network. The investment represents a tripling of the number of cameras available to staff following ScotRail\u2019s<\/a> initial deployment, which began in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety of our staff and passengers is our top priority. Where body cameras have been used, we have already seen a positive impact on morale and staff confidence, as well as a decrease in reported incidents, helping to ensure a safer environment on our trains and at our stations,\u201d said David Lister, director of safety, engineering and sustainability at ScotRail<\/a>. \u201cWe are making body cameras available to all of our front-line staff and any team member who wishes to use one can now do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

ScotRail\u2019s<\/a> integral role in connecting people and communities across Scotland is underpinned by enabling a safe environment for its customers and staff. The roll-out of body cameras is helping to ensure safer passenger journeys and positive interactions between ScotRail<\/a> staff and the public by acting as a tool for de-escalating potentially difficult situations and providing objective video and audio evidence of incidents.<\/p>\n

The VB400 is an easy-to-use device with battery life extending beyond a full shift. It reliably captures high-quality footage which is securely stored and organised with time, date and location details, maintaining the integrity of evidence to support incident investigations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe VB400 has been designed with safety and simplicity in mind,\u201d said Fergus Mayne, country manager for U.K. and Ireland at Motorola Solutions.<\/a> \u201cIt\u00a0 works when you need it to and is equipped with features such as a pre-record option, that can capture up to 30 seconds of pre and post footage from the point at which the camera is activated, because when a situation does escalate quickly, staff may not have a chance to hit the record button.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The body camera roll-out follows the launch of a\u00a0campaign<\/a>\u00a0to combat abusive behaviour on the railways, spearheaded by ScotRail<\/a>, the Scottish Government and the British Transport Police.<\/a> The additional trust and transparency body cameras can provide, through an objective record of interactions between staff and the public, supports the campaign\u2019s goal of fostering a safer environment, both for Scotrail<\/a> staff and the community they serve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
