Customer Testimonials
“The Toughbook Arbitrator 360° has given us a true end-to-end solution for not just recording video, but storing, organizing and accessing video as well. In addition, we quickly realized the benefits of deploying multiple in-car cameras by disproving an internal affairs complaint using evidence captured on a rear-facing camera. From our perspective, a room full of DVDs is no better than a room full of VHS tapes, so the ability to manage and transfer all video evidence digitally is a huge bonus. Our patrol officers found the Arbitrator 360° software interface very easy to use, and were up and running with very minimal training. We value the long-term presence and stability Panasonic has demonstrated in public safety.”
--Sergeant Todd Beam,
Lincoln Police Department (NE)
“One of the biggest advantages I see is being able to utilize this technology with the courts.”
--Chris Lee,
Technology Operations Manager,
City of Lewisville (TX)
“The Arbitrator system has given us a decreased time in court, the ability to gather evidence in a much clearer fashion than before, ease of use and a high comfort level with our officers to use it.”
--Joni Eddy,
Assistant Chief,
City of Lewisville Police Dept. (TX)
“It's an excellent tool for catching evidence on video.”
--James Hart,
Sacramento County Sheriffs Dept.

Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Police Department
As a result of an unwitnessed officer fatality, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department decided to invest in a mobile digital video system that would enable them to capture evidence and protect officers in the field. The department outfitted all 260 sheriff vehicles with the Toughbook Arbitrator, giving officers increased security, eye-witness corroboration and peace of mind. Using cutting edge technology, the
Toughbook Arbitrator 360°
automatically records video during traffic stops and high-speed chases. Sacramento County also employs the Arbitrator's wireless microphone, which clips to the officer's belt and records sound up to a distance of 1000 feet from the squad car. Once the incident is captured, the footage is automatically uploaded to a secure server, making the recordings secure and tamper-proof while ensuring the submission of reliable courtroom evidence.

For manufacturers of electronic equipment, the main impact of RoHS is that only lead-free products can be sold in Europe. Panasonic has therefore shifted to lead-free solder. By selling RoHS-compliant Toughbook computers in all countries, not just Europe, Panasonic helps eliminate hazardous electronic waste materials from landfills and waste dumps around the world.
