The 650 motorcycle police officers in North Rhine-Westphalia will be able to travel wirelessly in the future: They will receive helmets that are connected to the radio via Bluetooth. According to tender documents, the State Office for the Central Police Service (LZPD) is now looking for suppliers for the new system.
“The introduction of wireless helmets represents a necessary and contemporary modernization of police motorcycle protective clothing,” the LZPD said of the request. With the helmets currently in use, the cable only needs to be unplugged when the officer is off the motorcycle. “The wireless radio connection allows for faster action, especially around motorcycles, and increases the safety of emergency services,” the LZPD spokesperson said.
Bluetooth technology comes from a proposal by a state police working group. According to the tender documents, the signal is encrypted. The speaker must reach both ears. According to the tender, the microphone must be protected from wind.
