Body worn video cameras - for innovative security solutions

Body-worn cameras from Pinnacle Response have been chosen by The Westgrove Group to aid their professional security solutions.

The Westgrove Group, based in Warrington, are a bespoke cleaning and security solutions provider specialising in the Retail, Commercial, Leisure and Aviation sectors. “Refreshingly innovative”, the Westgrove Group offer a true partnership approach within the Cleaning and Security Industry.

This contract has seen body-worn cameras from Pinnacle Response utilised by security colleagues at a variety of prestige locations including some of the UK’s largest shopping centres. Body-worn cameras have been proven to act as a deterrent to antisocial and aggressive behaviour and are rapidly becoming ‘good practice’ across the portfolio.

Body-worn cameras help to deter theft and also provide security teams with tangible backup in confrontational situations whilst also providing reassurance to the general public. A report from November 2017 by ABI Global Research suggests retail is one of the fastest growing industries for body-worn video solutions, with a prediction of “the number of wearable technology previsions rising to 10 million by 2022”.

Colin Stanford, Managing Director at Pinnacle Response, said: “Pinnacle Response are proud to be the bodycam supplier of choice for the Westgrove Group as they continue to provide innovative strategies and bespoke security solutions nationwide. We look forward to a bright future together”.
