The initiative transitions state agencies to the company’s body cameras, in-car video and real-time situational awareness software to improve statewide public safety response.

"Following an extensive nine-month evaluation of public safety technologies, state leadership determined that transitioning from disparate suppliers to a single, integrated solution was the right decision," said Robert Burns, Lieutenant Colonel, Louisiana State Police. "Bringing six state agencies across 64 parishes under one Motorola Solutions platform eliminates data silos, allowing our first responders to share real-time intelligence, cut response times and better protect our communities.

Mobile video and digital evidence management

On-the-scene details often differ from those provided by dispatch. By unifying body and in-car video directly into real-time operation centers, Louisiana command staff will gain improved visibility. Additionally, with officers spending up to 40% of their shifts on administrative paperwork, built-in tools within the new digital evidence management system will automate video redaction, audio transcription and incident summaries to free up officer time.

Modernised smart radios and network infrastructure

The agreement extends the Louisiana Wireless Information Network (LWIN) maintenance and system upgrade agreement for 10 years, helping to ensure that the network remains continually operational for over 109,000 users during daily operations, major incidents and severe weather. A new frame agreement allows agencies to procure Motorola Solutions’ next-generation D-Series infrastructure for resilient communications as needs evolve.

Agencies are also deploying new smart radios featuring real-time language translation to help reduce officers’ workload and allow clear communications across the state.
