Vision Techniques helps Merseyside and Greater Manchester police identify rioters
Blackburn-based Vision Techniques’ innovative mobile CCTV equipment has been helping police to identify rioters and looters in Liverpool and Manchester.
The CCTV footage captured hooded rioters in Manchester and Liverpool and was released online by police in a bid to bring justice to those causing chaos in two of the North’s major cities.
Multi-camera and digital video recording systems are recognised as an essential tool for the police and emergency services in vehicle safety and security – deterring, apprehending and assisting in the prosecution of offenders.
CCTV footage taken from Emergency Service vehicles has resulted in many convictions in courts throughout London, Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, not to mention other cities such as Nottingham, which had a police station attacked and burned down.
Other cities suffered during the riots that followed the death of Mark Duggan during an attempted arrest in Tottenham, north London.
Greater Manchester Police said 100 premises were broken into or damaged in Manchester and officers made countless arrests.
Andrew Kelly, of Vision Techniques, said: “We are proud to be supporting the Greater Manchester and Merseyside police in identifying rioters.
“Our latest mobile CCTV 360° recording system, VT ‘Live’, is equipped on public sector vehicles throughout the country.
“We have also installed VT 'Live' to nearly the entire fleet of front line Fire and Rescue appliances in Wales.”
VT Live, streams real time video footage from vehicle mounted cameras to any location with the system’s built-in remote connectivity, utilising the cellular data networks
