Among its many educational opportunities, this year's GV Expo conference program has a particularly strong two-day track for law enforcement video professionals.
On Day 1, forensic video expert Grant Fredericks, manager of Avid Forensic Video Solutions and a regular GV Expo presenter, is bringing a new presentation for 2003. "Digital Video Realities" goes beyond a demonstration of forensic video technologies and addresses the importance of video as legal evidence.
"Not all digital video is created equal in the eyes of the courts," Fredericks explained. "The video security industry is migrating from analog to digital video systems at an alarming rate of speed, yet little consideration is given to how or even if the ultimate end user -- the court -- will accept the evidence."
Fredericks will walk attendees through the chain of custody for DVR exhibits and demonstrate how the Federal Rules of Evidence could render your evidence inadmissible.
The conference program for Day 2 opens with keynote speaker Charles Moose, who served as Montgomery County Chief of Police and head of the multi-jurisdictional task force charged with apprehending the serial murderers during last year's Beltway Sniper crisis. His address, "Leadership Under Fire," will emphasize crisis management skills and teamwork, and should be a valuable presentation for law enforcement professionals.
Following the keynote address, the Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Video Association will conduct an important session called "Digital Security Video: Is It Good for Law Enforcement?" According to Mike Fergus, LEVA executive vice president, the session will cover a number of important issues and include input from a number of industry experts.
Grady Baker with the International Association of Chiefs of Police will talk about the expanding use of in-car camera systems by police departments and the potential issues involved with the technology.
LEVA instructor and forensic video expert Dorothy Stout will discuss the challenges investigators and analysts face with the proliferation of digital CCTV recording systems. And Mark Visbal of the Security Industry Association will talk about the security industry's efforts to develop standards and to solicit input from end users in government and especially law enforcement, the true end-users of CCTV video.
The Day 2 conference program also includes the two-hour "Homeland Security: Law Enforcement Technologies Supersession," which covers a number of topics and technologies. Six companies (Panasonic, LegalEagle Video Services, VideoTele.com, SkyStream Networks, Axis Communications, and Virage) provide insights on server technologies, delivery protocol for video surveillance, networking video, and other timely solutions for improving department efficiency.
"Law enforcement has always been an important part of the GV Expo conference program," said Michael Silbergleid, conference chair.
"This year, our two-day conference program covers a variety of technologies that can help you improve productivity and make your video presentations more effective."
Admission to Chief Moose's keynote address is free for registered attendees, but there is a charge for other conference program sessions. For prices and registration information, visit the GV Expo Web site.
