SPANISH FORK, Utah– July 21, 2007 – EHS, Inc., manufacturer of public safety equipment used by police departments across the country, has launched its latest product, the VIDMIC, into the Law Enforcement market. This new technology is a revolutionary data acquisition system that goes everywhere the officer goes and records important information at anytime. Now when an officer arrives at a crime scene, they can press a button and turn on a full-color digital video recorder, still photo camera, and digital audio recorder all housed in the shoulder microphone most already wear. The new VIDMIC system can record up to three hours of quality video creating undisputable evidence for police and prosecutors.

The contributions of video technology to the war on crime are well documented. In-car video has been proven to reduce frivolous law suits against police and increase the likelihood of successful prosecution. At the same time, video enhances officer safety, performance, and professionalism, among many other important advantages. But in-car video can’t go with the officer up to the door, inside the apartment, down the narrow alley, or into the backyard. It can’t prove the officer had permission to search a house, found drugs in plain sight, or did, in fact, Mirandize a suspect. The VIDMIC can.
