U.K.’s Largest Consumer Co-operative Leverages Motorola Solutions’ Body-worn Video to Battle In-store Crime and Keep Employees Safe
Summary
The retailer warns of a crime and violence epidemic and its targeted deployment of a body-worn video solution forms part of an ongoing commitment to invest a further £70M over the next three years in innovative technology to keep colleagues safe. The market-leading VT100 body-worn camera from Motorola Solutions can be worn in standby mode for up to six months, preserving battery for instances when Co-op store colleagues feel threatened by aggressive or violent behaviour. Cheryl Houghton, Co-op Retail Security Manager, said: “ Shop workers play an essential role serving communities, yet they have to contend with unprecedented levels of violence and abuse on a daily basis. I have never seen such high levels of violence and abuse, it’s a societal issue that all retailers are concerned about and it’s having lasting effects on the lives of shop workers - both mentally and physically. Our technology platforms in mission-critical communications, command centre software, video security & analytics, bolstered by managed & support services, make cities safer and help communities and businesses thrive.
