Police to introduce state-of-the-art cameras
12/11/2009

De Telegraaf wrote that the police intended to install state-of-the-art 360-degree rotating video cameras in the fight against the increasing violence on the streets.

The cameras, which will be introduced nationwide in 2010, will be installed on the roof of police cars.

Currently, some police vehicles are equipped with video cameras but they are located inside the vehicles and have limited functions.

The police will first test out various types of cameras in five regions before determining which video camera is the most suitable.

The cameras, which are expected to have a preventative effect, can be used during riots, but also in entertainment centres or at major events.

The video cameras are also intended to make police officers feel safer, particularly when large groups of people turn against them.

The state-of-the-art equipment – estimated at EUR 5,000 apiece - can be controlled both from a patrol car and from a central dispatch. They will be made as ‘asshole proof’ as possible.

“Although eventually you can break anything. On the other hand, the closer a hoodlum gets, the easier it becomes to identify them,” said a police spokesperson.
