ABSTRACT:
The system includes a receiver/recorder/transmitter carried by the officer which can be activated by a manual switch or a sensor switch associated with the weapon holster and weapon to record and transmit a signal indicating removal of the weapon from the holster and record and transmit all audible sounds, conversations and the like that occur in the vicinity of the officer. The information that is received by the receiver/recorder/transmitter carried by the officer is transmitted to a receiver/recorder/transmitter in the officer's patrol car which receives the information from the transmitter carried by the officer, records and transmits it with a longer range signal to a dispatch station. The information transmitted to the dispatch station will energize an audible or visual signal to alert the dispatcher of a possible life threatening situation being encountered by the officer with the information transmitted to the dispatcher being recorded and logged in to enable the dispatcher to send assistance or back up officers if deemed necessary. The officer's weapon also includes a sensing and signal transmitting device that will transmit a signal to enable the officer's weapon to be located in the event it is taken from the officer's holster or from the officer by an unauthorized person to facilitate recovery of the weapon and possibly the arrest of the person who took the weapon from the officer.
