00:00My name is Vince Saunders, Sergeant at Nottinghamshire Police, Chief Drone Pilot,
00:04and this is our new vehicle. So this vehicle has dedicated stowage of our main drone,
00:10primary drone, fully assembled, ready to go, saving critical time, being able to lift quicker,
00:14putting the drone up in the air. It's got loads of additional leisure batteries, inverters,
00:20it allows us to be on the go constantly, charge batteries on the go and be able to deploy 24-7
00:28without the need to come back to a police station and charge batteries. So it's out at all times
00:32within Nottinghamshire. For the last four years we've made done with vehicles that we've had
00:37in force that haven't been dedicated or specific to the needs of our team. For me this is a long
00:44time coming, a lot of data capturing to be able to demonstrate the value that something like this
00:50would bring to Nottinghamshire Police and it is a game changer for us. It will save time,
00:55it will allow us to do more and ultimately improve the delivery or the service that we're offering.
