UK retailer Poundland achieves reduction in store violence and theft with Motorola Solutions body cameras.
Motorola Solutions has announced deployment of its VT100 body cameras to employees across Poundland stores in the UK. Since a pilot, the retailer has reported a decrease in incidents, including an 11% drop in violence against store employees and a marked reduction in shoplifting and theft.
“A safer environment for frontline workers and shoppers alike underpins everything retailers do,” said Neil Thomas, Corporate Vice President of Enterprise Sales at Motorola Solutions. “The VT100 empowers in-store staff with the information they need to decisively protect their employees, customers, and stores.”
Poundland’s Security and Loss Prevention team also has an objective record of events to help conduct investigations. Poundland is using Motorola Solutions’ VideoManager digital evidence management solution to prepare, store and process video data, including the ability to tag and match body camera videos with CCTV footage and other incident data.
