Northamptonshire Police fit in-car data recorders to reduce crashes http://www.publictechnology.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1681 "Black boxes which record and store a range of information about vehicle journeys and driving behaviour are being fitted to police vehicles by Northamptonshire Police. The devices, which are more properly known as Incident Data Recorders (IDRs), are currently being fitted to 70 marked police vehicles across the county as part of a year-long pilot project aimed at reducing collisions involving police vehicles. In the past 12 months, 356 police vehicles have been involved in collisions or incidents on the county?s roads, and 13 officers suffered injuries as a result. This has led to vehicles being off the road for some time and has also led to an increase in the cost of vehicle insurance for the county Force, which is keen to reduce both costs and injury to its staff.
