Truleo, the provider of automated body camera review and analysis technology for law enforcement, has announced that the Elkton Police Department has signed an agreement to utilize the company’s body camera data analysis platform.

Analytics

Truleo processes body camera videos for departments across the US to help automate supervision, facilitate coaching and promote police professionalism. According to the company, its technology automatically detects critical events such as uses of force, pursuits, frisking and non-compliance incidents and screens for both professional and unprofessional officer language so supervisors can then praise or review officers’ conduct.

Use in Maryland

The company says that like most departments in the US, Sergeants in the Elkton Police Department manually conduct random body camera reviews each month on a small percentage of the videos, but Truleo’s analytics platform will now automatically scan 100% of all videos for insights that are designed to provide a more comprehensive review that can facilitate coaching.

This “precision guided audit” is designed to save the Sergeant’s time and create a more efficient performance review process.

“Body cameras merely capture and store data. The overwhelming academic evidence now shows that it is the insights buried in that data that is the key to improving outcomes for both officers and the community,” said Anthony Tassone, CEO of Truleo.
