2007 Innovation Awards Finalists

The judges of the Cygnus Law Enforcement Group 2007 Innovation Awards had a tough job deciding who would receive the trophies. Here is a complete list of the finalists. The first entry in each category was the award winner.

• EHS Inc
  VIDMIC

  
  Description:The VIDMIC is a revolutionary data acquisition system which goes everywhere the officer goes and records important information at any time. A full color digital video recorder, still photo camera, and digital audio recorder are all housed in a fully functioning shoulder mic. Because officers already use shoulder mics, there is no need for them to add additional equipment to their already overburdened utility belts in order to have video and audio recording capabilities.
  The contributions of video technologies to successful police work are well documented. In-car video has been shown to reduce frivolous lawsuits and increase the likelihood of successful prosecution. At the same time, video enhances officer safety, training, performance, and professionalism. Video reduces time spent writing reports and protects officers from false allegations.
  But in-car video can't go with the officer up to the door, inside an apartment, down the narrow alley or into a backyard. It can't prove the officer had permission to search a house, had probable cause to do a sobriety test, and did, in fact, Mirandize a subject. For all the outstanding advatages of in-car video, the VIDMIC will provide even greater, far reaching benefits for officers and police work.
