Motorola Solutions launches AI platform for police

Motorola Solutions has launched a new AI-powered platform for assisting police officers and other first responders.

The platform, Assist, monitors an officer’s body camera and audio feeds, and enables officers to perform tasks like querying a registration plate or driver’s licence and automatically search for associated records or warnings.

The solution can detect keywords in radio traffic and alert nearby officers and command centre staff, while also providing real-time translations for conversations between an officer and a member of the community. It can also provide officers with the steps needed to conduct tasks such as administering EpiPen injections.

Assist is also able to help officers file accurate reports by helping to identify discrepancies or errors in their recollection of an incident, and can speed up the time needed to enter basic data about people, vehicles and property into their reports.

Motorola Solutions has also launched SVX, a novel video remote speaker microphone designed for Motorola Solutions’ flagship APX Next mission-critical radio platform.

SVX features the company’s latest-generation ambient noise reduction technology to enable frontline officers and other public safety officials to communicate clearly in noisy or chaotic environments. The technology also captures high-definition video and enables both radio and video communications, while recording evidence for prosecutions.

Motorola Solutions EVP and CTO Mahesh Saptharishi said the convergence of radio, video and AI enabled by the new solutions serves as a force multiplier for frontline officers.

“An officer’s uniform is their emblem. Their emblem of service, of protection, of courage and sometimes of sacrifice, in the pursuit of making our communities safer,” he said. “We’ve designed SVX and Assist to combine secure voice, video and AI with exceptional quality and capability for the people in uniform who protect us all.”
