The recent annnouncement by the Home Office to provide an additional £3m to fund a national roll-out of head cameras is certainly a welcome step, in providing evolving technology, to support the emergency services. This issue therefore bears testament to the benefits of mobile CCTV devices (see pages 6-7 and pages 22-25).
What also came to light during our interviews, conducted for the CCTV feature was the growing view on the benefits that arise from being able to stream life video footage to civil contingency responders whilst attending incidents or simply out in the field. Yet one of the questions that will undoubtedly arise is the most effcient and reliable means of transmitting this data. Plus using intelligent retrieval mechanisms to ensure that data overload in an already data centric market doesn’t hamper the primary role of our emergency service responders. With this very thought in mind we address these issues over the next few editions of the Journal. Additional articles will also be published on our web site. (www.bapcojournal.com)
