About Baltimore Police Department

The Baltimore Police Department is committed to ensuring public safety through comprehensive training at its Police Academy. With a focus on equipping law enforcement personnel with essential skills, the department conducts various training sessions in multiple classrooms.

Challenges

The Baltimore Police Department faced several significant challenges in managing its training sessions at the Police Academy. The department needed a solution to manage live streams from four classrooms equipped with dedicated cameras. One of the main hurdles was the lack of a centralized system to provide a single-page portal for simultaneously viewing live streams from all classrooms. This made it difficult for police heads to supervise multiple training sessions in real-time.

Additionally, managing multiple live events and encoders without persistent stream links created a complex and inefficient process for delivering consistent 
training experiences.

Another challenge was the inability to record live streams and make them available on-demand for specific personnel, such as police heads, who needed access to these sessions for supervision and feedback. The department also struggled with automating event-stream synchronization and ensuring that sensitive electronic training materials were securely managed.

Moreover, budget constraints limited their ability to maintain optimal server performance for managing multiple camera feeds, adding to the difficulty of delivering consistent, high-quality training sessions. These challenges hindered the department’s ability to provide 
timely feedback to police heads and ensure effective training operations across the board.

Solution


To address these challenges, the Baltimore Police Department turned to VIDIZMO EnterpriseTube. The platform offered a centralized solution that streamlined the management of live streams from various classrooms within the Police Academy. 
VIDIZMO created a single-page portal where training sessions from rooms could be viewed in real-time, complete with dedicated cameras for each classroom. 


The system facilitated the establishment of persistent live stream links for each encoder, ensuring that users could access training sessions consistently. Additionally, it allowed for automatic content ingestion from the 
encoders and integration with existing learning management systems (LMS) like Blackboard or Canvas. 

The platform also provided a highly secure repository for electronic files, guaranteeing that only authorized personnel could access sensitive training materials. This comprehensive solution not only simplified the 
management of training sessions but also enhanced the overall learning experience for police heads.

Impact in a Nutshell

  • The Baltimore Police Department successfully centralized the management of livestreams, significantly reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency.
  • Persistent live stream links ensured that training sessions were easily accessible, fostering better engagement among police heads.
  • VIDIZMO's secure repository allowed for the safe storage of sensitive electronic files, safeguarding critical training materials.
