Background
Once a quiet mill town, Hudson, MA has blossomed into a vibrant community of 20,000 people, a bustling downtown, and must-see attractions. The Hudson Police Department prides itself on improving the quality of life for all citizens by providing a safe and secure environment rooted in community outreach and engagement. Technology plays a key role in the department’s mission.

The Solution
The department has been utilizing drones for situational awareness for several years. They recently implemented LiveU technology to enhance their operations and increase their speed to respond.

The LiveU field encoder is typically used for overwatch for special events to ensure increased safety of the community. In other instances, the department has leveraged the technology for arrest and search warrants. The LiveU IP-video field encoder powers the transmission of live feeds from the OJI Matrice 30T and Mavic 3T drones to the department’s communications center and field personnel, leveraging the LiveU Video Return platform for training, simulations, and crisis response.

The Results
The LiveU unit has proven critical in Law Enforcement (LE) missions.  The department received a call about some minors looking to cars in a location stricken with multiple stolen car reports. A drone was deployed to evaluate the situation, which found that the youths were simply playing a hide-and-seek game near the cars. This gave the department visibility into what was actually happening, which in turn, saved time and resources, without compromising anyone’s safety.

Late last summer, Rahn’s regional team was activated to increase security measures for the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) fundraising bike-a-thon to benefit the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute. Hudson PD provided overwatch for the event as cyclists gathered the night before to check in their gear. Rahn’s team was using the LiveU field unit to provide video streaming to a mobile command center and supervisors. “Using drones, we were able to help ensure the safety of over 6,000 riders and their gear as it was being secured for the ride to Cape Cod the next morning,” noted Rahn.

LiveU has helped the Hudson PD become more efficient in the field. They foresee more success stories around LiveU, drones, and overwatch, which will help them maintain safety and security for its officers and the community they serve.

A small city shows a metro area of millions how to master live video for police and public safety

In his article “A Small City Shows a Metro Area of Millions How to Master Live Video for Police and Public Safety,” Tom Mangam highlights how the small city of Lafayette, California, leverages cutting-edge video technology to enhance public safety and police operations. The city’s emergency services coordinator, John Cornell, sought to solve long-standing issues with aerial video feeds from drones and helicopters, especially for emergency situations such as wildfires and earthquakes. By integrating showbiz-level technology, Cornell found an innovative solution that has had far-reaching impacts across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Cornell’s search for a robust video feed solution led him to Teradek’s Prism Mobile and Core Cloud Platform. This technology, typically used in the film industry, provided Lafayette’s police force with real-time, high-quality video streams from drones and helicopters. The devices are easy to install, work seamlessly with helicopters and drones, and provide critical video streams via 5G connections. As a result, this system allowed authorities to collaborate more effectively across different jurisdictions, leading to the creation of the East Bay Interagency Video Network.

The implementation of Teradek’s technology had immediate success, such as aiding in the rescue of an injured kite surfer in San Francisco Bay. The real-time video feed gave rescue teams, including the Coast Guard and local fire departments, a clear view of the incident, drastically improving response coordination. This breakthrough has allowed Bay Area public safety agencies to share live video feeds securely, fostering collaboration and enhancing situational awareness. The new system allows different agencies to view the same information simultaneously, promoting cooperation and ensuring the best possible outcomes during emergencies.
