Viridian Showcasing Weapon-Mounted Camera at IPCA Conference

 

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. –– Viridian Weapon Technologies is showcasing the FACT Duty™ Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC™) at the 33rd Annual Conference of the Iowa Police Chiefs Association (IPCA). The convention is taking place at the Coralville Marriott in Coralville, Iowa, May 21-24, 2019. Attendees will have a chance to discuss and sign up for a no-cost FACT Duty WMC Testing & Evaluation program at booth number 37 and can take advantage of an exclusive show special during the conference.

“We’re honored to be exhibiting at the 2019 IPCA conference and talking to our friends in law enforcement about this important technology,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “Providing a truly unobstructed perspective that did not exist before, our FACT Duty WMC is designed to equip officers for situations they may face while on duty. This conference is the perfect opportunity to discuss the unique benefits and demonstrate firsthand why more than 500 agencies in the U.S. are in various stages of testing and implementing the WMC.”

The highly advanced FACT Duty WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. This unique weapon-mounted camera provides a clear view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment. Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose.

At this year’s IPCA conference, booth visitors who enroll in the free Testing &

Evaluation program will be eligible to receive a free Tactical Backpack while supplies last. This show special is an exclusive token of appreciation for qualified T&E sign-ups during the conference.
