Baotou: Initial establishment of a law enforcement recorder usage and management system

Release Time:

2022-06-13


In recent years, the Baotou Detachment of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has conducted in-depth research, drawn lessons from experience, and identified shortcomings. It has continuously enriched and improved the practical needs of body-worn cameras, innovated and expanded the functions and effectiveness of body-worn cameras, and initially formed a distinctive body-worn camera usage and management system, enhancing the practicality, usability, and effectiveness of body-worn cameras in actual combat.
As of now, the Baotou Detachment has invested more than 2.5 million yuan, equipping a total of 1053 body-worn cameras, covering 14 detachments and 71 squads (including duty and accident squads) and the vehicle management office across the city, with a distribution rate of 100%.


Focus on Usage Management: Establishing a Perfect Law Enforcement Supervision Platform


“We have combined the existing assessment model to establish a dedicated body-worn camera supervision platform at the detachment and detachment levels, and a dedicated collection station at the squad level. We have initially built a law enforcement management system mainly based on the three-level body-worn camera supervision platform of the detachment, detachment, and squad, and based on the ‘three horizontal, eight vertical + X’ model.” When talking about the experience of using and managing body-worn cameras, An Rui, the deputy director and detachment leader of Baotou City, is well-versed in the details.
In the main management of body-worn cameras, the Baotou Detachment adheres to the principle of assigning responsibilities to individuals and clarifying responsibilities. It has established a three-level assessment and supervision platform for body-worn cameras: First level: The detachment political commissar is the overall person in charge, and the police affairs supervision detachment and the legal affairs department conduct unified supervision in service support; Second level: The instructors of each detachment are responsible, and the detachment police affairs supervision office and legal officers conduct supervision in the implementation of the system; Third level: The squad instructors (deputy squad leaders) are responsible, and two internal affairs personnel are designated to conduct specific supervision in terms of transmission and collection.
“In the objective use of body-worn cameras, we base the use of body-worn cameras on the main business of traffic management work and adopt the ‘three horizontal, eight vertical + X’ usage management model.” An Rui introduced, “Three horizontal” refers to the three levels from the detachment to the detachment, from the detachment to the squad, and from the squad to (traffic assistants). It horizontally radiates from the main leaders of the detachment to the grassroots and traffic assistants, ensuring that there is no omission or oversight in the main management of body-worn cameras. The “eight vertical” includes duty management, accident handling, and vehicle and driver management business, which cover all users of body-worn cameras and run through the three major businesses of traffic management work, departments, posts, and links, maximizing the scope of use of body-worn cameras. The other five items in the “eight vertical”, team management, traffic safety publicity, legal work, command and dispatch, and equipment, will use smart mobile phones to complete their system supervision. The final ‘X’ refers to the phased key work or special rectification actions in the ‘eight vertical’ work, ensuring that the main traffic management business is not missing or lagging.”}, {
In addition, in terms of system management of body-worn cameras, the Baotou Detachment implements a classified supervision system of “one person, one file, and one person in charge” for law enforcement records. Each traffic assistant can use a drop-down menu to search for the entire process and all-time playback of law enforcement situations by year, month, and day.


Focus on Software Development: Creating a Management Model Close to Actual Combat


“In software development, we continuously enrich its usage connotation, improving from the past post-event inspection and assessment of standardized law enforcement to integrating police efficiency assessment into the law enforcement supervision platform, upgrading and transforming body-worn cameras from a single type to a composite type.” said a relevant person in charge of the Baotou City Detachment.
First, it changes from passive to active, upgrading from “post-event supervision” to “full-process supervision”. The Baotou Detachment has added an “automatic alarm” function to the system software, which timely alarms and lists various situations such as “failure to sign in on time”, “failure to turn on the body-worn camera on time”, and “failure to collect” on the blacklist. It is understood that the newly added “automatic alarm” and “blacklist” functions overcome the shortcomings of the original body-worn camera’s post-event accounting, organically combining pre-event reminders, in-event supervision, and post-event inspections, changing from passive to active, and realizing full-process supervision of traffic duty and law enforcement.
Secondly, it changes from abstract to specific, transforming from “single recording” to “comprehensive assessment”. The Baotou Detachment closely combines the use and management of body-worn cameras with police performance assessment, forming a two-way complementary linkage. Abstract assessment objects such as workload, work attitude, and work effectiveness are transformed from qualitative to quantitative processing. The quantity, quality, and various effective elements of video files are comprehensively assessed, promoting use and standardization through assessment, and using body-worn cameras to effectively conduct audio and video assessments.
In addition, it changes from limited to massive, upgrading from “traditional storage” to “cloud service”. “The traditional data storage methods for body-worn cameras include server storage, computer hard disk storage, and optical disc storage.” The above-mentioned person in charge said that in response to the problem of difficulty in storing massive data from body-worn cameras, the Baotou Detachment boldly tried to store the generated law enforcement information and data using “cloud computing” and use “cloud services” to meet the actual needs of daily access, expansion, and use of law enforcement information and work assessment.


Focus on Practical Application: Creating a Duty Workload Assessment Mechanism


How to ensure the practical application effect of body-worn cameras? “We maximize the use of various functions of body-worn cameras in traffic management work and have established a ‘one sign-in, three checks, three assessments, and one upload’ duty workload assessment mechanism.” An Rui introduced.
“One sign-in” refers to setting up an electronic fence in the police geographic information system and using the satellite positioning technology in the body-worn camera to automatically sign in and out. The system automatically alarms and generates a blacklist for situations such as failure to sign in on time, failure to turn on the device, failure to record situations, failure to charge, and failure to collect. In addition, the supervision platform can also use the police geographic information system to display the location of all traffic assistants.
“Three checks” require checking the following upon starting work: 1. Whether the clothing and equipment are standard; 2. Whether the traffic facilities in the jurisdiction are intact; 3. The traffic conditions in the three peak hours of the jurisdiction, and uploading the video files to the supervision platform.
“Three assessments” refer to the assessment of workload, currently including three aspects: 1. Assessment of the workload of “curbing drunk driving”. While the body-worn camera records the use of red light gaps to check drunk driving, it also completes the dual assessment of the daily workload and whether the law enforcement process is standardized. 2. Assessment of the workload of cracking down on and punishing serious traffic violations such as illegal license plates and certificates, overloading, speeding, fatigue driving, and intentional traffic violations. 3. Assessment of the workload of eliminating motor vehicle violations. By eliminating off-site violations of motor vehicles, the effectively checked data is uploaded to complete the assessment by quantity.
“One upload” requires uploading data to the collection station every day after work. Through daily collection and upload, the supervision platform can comprehensively grasp the use of body-worn cameras in the entire detachment, and comprehensively supervise and assess whether the duty and law enforcement are standardized and whether the various work quotas are completed.

Stop treating a hard hat merely as a “drop‑proof helmet”—it has long since evolved into a mobile safety workstation.

At the inspection site, inspector “Little Squirrel” was checking the operating status of equipment when he accidentally brushed against a junction box, causing the surrounding lights to go out instantly—a sudden power outage that plunged the entire work area into darkness. With no handheld flashlight and high-voltage equipment nearby, every second of obscured vision posed risks of missteps, collisions, or operator error. Just then, he raised his hand and lightly tapped the button on the front of his safety helmet, and a beam of bright light shot forth from the brim, steadily illuminating the path beneath his feet and the equipment panel before him. This isn’t a scene from a movie—it’s a real‑world scenario that can unfold during power‑grid maintenance, tunnel inspections, or nighttime construction‑site patrols. And that “light‑emitting safety helmet” is none other than the Zhiye Smart Safety Helmet.
