We lied, there are a lot more than 5 reasons why law enforcement agencies should consider mobile surveillance trailers as part of an overall crime reduction plan. There is good reason why agencies are jumping on this trend.  Automation and Artificial Intelligence are 2 big reasons.  Agencies are being tasked with the challenge of covering more areas with less staff.  In many large cities there has been a movement to defund police.  At GoView we believe this is detrimental to the rule of law and order and is not a good trend.  While it is already being reversed, the need for efficiency and less human involvement is not likely to go away. 

Units can be rapidly deployed to "hot spot" areas to break up patterns and trends of increasing crime.  This disruption can be an effective tool for law enforcement.  Even relatively safe cities should consider mobile surveillance as a way of covering more ground with fewer officers. By using security trailers in areas where general surveillance and police presence is needed, agencies can then reposition human assets to higher crime areas or other situations that require a stronger live police presence. 

A great usage case is to deploy a surveillance unit and an officer at an event that would normally require 2-3 officers. This now frees up 1-2 officers for another assignment and provides the same or better protections. 

Here are a few ways that Law Enforcement Agencies can leverage GoView Mobile Surveillance Trailers to cut costs and reduce crime:

● Surveillance at special events such as high school football games or other community activities
● Traffic control - Speeding, Wrong Way Driving, Reckless Driving and More
● Covering areas prone to vandalism and graffiti
● Strong show of force when there is an immediate threat
● Covert operations assistance
● Evidence collection
● Augment manpower - Force Multiplier
● Mobile command and communication station
● PA system can be used to provide public announcements 
● Satellite communications in the event of cellular or landline outages
● Can provide backup power and charging capabilities for other devices
