AI translator coming to Winnipeg police body cams
The Winnipeg Police Service is incorporating an artificial intelligence translator into their body-worn camera pilot program, capable of understanding and translating over 50 languages. Upon pressing a button, the device identifies the spoken language and automatically translates it into English. This tool enables officers to reply in either English or French, with the device subsequently translating their remarks into the original speaker's language.
The Winnipeg Police Service anticipates that this innovation will enhance communication and customer service during police interactions. In June, 40 frontline officers participated in a six-month pilot project involving body-worn cameras, aimed at ensuring accountability and securing evidence. The annual subscription for the AI translator service, billed at $205.00 plus GST for the first year, automatically renews at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks, offering a 10% discount off the regular annual price of $259.35.
This offer is available to both new and qualified returning subscribers, with the option to cancel at any time.
