SUCCESS IN UK PRISONS
Edesix was announced as the BWC provider of choice for Her Majesty ’ s Prison Service throughout the UK . Following a national contract win and roll-out in England and Wales prison service , Edesix also secured orders for Prison applications in Scotland and , most recently , Northern Ireland .
POLICE
BWC ’ s are now regarded as an integral part of the armoury of police forces around the globe . After previous agreements with the likes of Police Scotland and Abu Dhabi Police , Edesix recently announced contract wins in Northern Ireland and South Australia , with the remit to support the delivery of a transparent , accountable police service , from the perspective of both police officers and of the communities they serve .
FIRE SERVICES
In 2016 Edesix became the first BWC provider to supply fire services in the UK . It currently supplies fire-fighters in the West Midlands with BWCs , after a successful trial at ten Birmingham fire stations in 2016 . West Midlands deployed 80 Edesix Videobadges earlier this year to be used primarily for learning and development purposes .
VMS INTEGRATION WITH GENETEC
Last year Edesix also announced a partnership agreement with Genetec Inc . ( Genetec ), a leading provider of open-platform , unified IP security solutions . The integration relationship has enabled Edesix BWCs , and associated VideoManager software ( VMS ), to integrate seamlessly with Genetec™ Security Center ; offering streamlined wearable security management , support and storage for city wide surveillance and law enforcement .
Richie McBride , Managing Director at Edesix , commented : “ Body Worn Video and video workflow has become a key component within many sectors , including the emergency services , security , prisons , and parking , providing a greater awareness and accountability of events for its users . It is also now becoming increasingly commonplace to use BWC ’ s for identifying best practice to enhance training and learning development .”
