Los Angeles is going large on the concept of body cameras:
[... The LAPD already has about 860 cameras, purchased through private donations. Last year, the LAPD negotiated a contract with Taser International to provide thousands more as well as replacement equipment, digital storage of the recordings and thousands of Tasers. ...]

Perhaps there is a SAAS opportunity in there somewhere?
- mey 10y agoThat's part of Taser International's business. They basically are providing a lifecycle solution from replacement to cloud storage for their body camera product. Edit: Although I have no idea if they are doing it "well" and there may be pain points to fix in the day to day. So yeah, probably an opportunity there.
- avs733 10y agoI imagine that the classification or definition of 'well' is somewhat specific to the role in this discussion.
- RangerScience 10y agoKeep in mind the speed at which government moves. There may be an opportunity, and it may be a large one, but I doubt it's an agile one (at least, to start with). Although targeting smaller departments may yield much faster results!
