BUCHAREST, Romania – July 16, 2020 – Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced that the General Inspectorate for the Romanian Police, the national police force and main civil law enforcement agency in Romania, has signed for an integrated body-worn camera solution which consists of 12,000 VB400 body-worn cameras including back-end VideoManager software, to improve the safety of both the police and the public, and enhance the accountability of their front-line police forces.
The Romanian Police serve a population of over 22 million, and the body-worn cameras will play an important role supporting public safety. They have been shown to deter aggression and protect those working on the front line as well as gaining community transparency and building trust. They can also provide secure evidence to aid in court proceedings. Body-worn camera technology has been proven to be incredibly valuable to many policing situations, from demonstrating accountability of all parties to capturing evidence and assisting in the prosecution of cases.

“We are extremely proud that the Ministry of Interior and the Romanian Police continue to see Motorola Solutions as a trusted partner, and we remain committed to helping keep Romanian citizens and the front line safe,” said Michael Kaae, regional vice president of Europe at Motorola Solutions. ”By harnessing the benefits of body-worn cameras, Romanian Police forces can make their operations substantially more efficient and increase security for citizens.”
