June 2008 - New PUMA Digital
Recorders and Management software will provide a more reliable
digital recorder for recording and easier access to more
information for the Glendale Police Department. The Glendale
Police Department has purchased the new PUMA Digital recorders and
PUMA Management software to replace their current digital
recorders.
The Police department conducted
a survey of its department use of their current DAR’s. In the
survey officers were asked question about their current use of the
department issued digital recorder. From the responses they
learned that there were many deficiencies in the operation of the
recorders. When the officers were asked if their recorders work
efficiently, 70 % of the responses were negative. When they were
asked if they knew if the recorder was on, 93 % stated that they
did not know. 89% of the officer stated that they had
difficulties finding the record button. And even though most
responded negatively to the recorder only 21% stated that they
prefer not to use their recorders in the field.
After reviewing demonstrations of the
PUMA Recorders and software and calling on other departments using
PUMA recorders the Police Department found PUMA to best met their
needs now and into the future.
