, ‘Samsung Electronics announced on the 1st that American police are utilizing the Galaxy Z Flip series as body cams for public safety and protection. ‘,
,
, ‘The first to adopt the Z Flip series as body cams were the police in Kimberling City, Missouri, in the United States. They have been conducting a trial operation with Galaxy Z Flip 3, Z Flip 4, and Z Flip 5 instead of body cams for the past two years. It is the first case of using a foldable device as a body cam. After six months of successful trial in Kimberling City, the adoption of the Z Flip series as body cams has spread to police departments in San Benito, Texas, and Craighead County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas, receiving high praise from police officers. Currently, police departments in 25 cities across 5 states in the United States are in the process of introducing the Z Flip series. Samsung Electronics is cooperating with police in 39 countries worldwide, including Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia. ‘,
,
, ‘The U.S. police explained that they adopted the Z Flip series as body cams because they are light, compact, easy to carry, and equipped with various features such as high-quality cameras. It is also convenient for shooting evidence at crime scenes, recording witness interviews, and real-time tracking of police officers’ locations using GPS. The recorded videos can be instantly saved to cloud servers and streamed to police command centers in real-time. Additionally, it is optimized for police work as officers can start recording body cam footage in emergency situations by simply pressing the volume button without needing to turn on the display or open their smartphones. ‘,
,
, ‘Todd Lehman, Chief of the Kimberling City Police Department, stated, “Efforts and investigations have significantly improved due to increased operational efficiency and enhanced team communication through the use of the Galaxy Z Flip.” ‘, ‘article_split’,
