BURLINGTON, N.C., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Burlington Police Department is the first
agency in North Carolina to
partner with Truleo, the patented body camera review software for
law enforcement, to analyze their body-worn camera videos through
the use of artificial intelligence.
Truleo is committed to ensuring
responsible, ethical AI usage by redacting personally identifiable
data.
Truleo's software automatically detects critical events such as
uses of force, stops, searches and de-escalation attempts, in
addition to screening for both professional and unprofessional
officer language.
"We are proud to begin our work with
the Burlington Police Department," said Anthony
Tassone, CEO and co-founder of Truleo. "Through our work with
various law enforcement agencies across the country, we've seen how
implementing body-worn analytics helps to increase public trust and
ensures that police officers meet not just law enforcement
standards but also the expectations of the communities they
serve."
Most U.S. law enforcement agencies review less than 1% of their
body camera videos due to limited resources, making positive
reinforcement difficult and exacerbating nationwide officer morale,
recruiting and retention challenges. Truleo's technology addresses
these challenges by making reviews more efficient, removing
supervisor bias, and recognizing and giving officers credit for
high levels of professionalism.
"In Burlington, we are committed to continuous improvement and
training," said Burlington Police
Department Captain Dalton Majors.
"With the ability to review more body-worn camera footage than ever
before, we can evaluate our performance and reinforce the officer's
actions. The Truleo software is invaluable in our pursuit of
excellence for our community."
The Burlington Police
Department utilizes i-PRO body-worn cameras. i-PRO, a recognized
global leader in video technologies and cameras, has developed a
Cloud-based program that integrates directly with technology such
as Truleo and helps streamline the video analysis process.
"i-PRO is proud to extend our open-platform strategy to include
new partners like Truleo," said David
O'Connor, Director Public Safety Product Management at i-Pro
Americas. "Integrating i-PRO's Unified Digital Evidence (UDE) with
advanced body-worn camera analytics from Truleo taps into the power
of cloud computing while enabling our law enforcement customers to
maintain full control of their digital assets on local
storage."
Truleo is committed to ensuring responsible, ethical AI usage by
converting body camera video to text prior to analysis, greatly
reducing bias and automatically redacting police officers' and
community members' personally identifiable data. Truleo does not
sell body cameras, and is thus a conflict-free option for
government agencies that requires independent, objective audit
software. To learn more about Truleo's mission to recognize police
