According to the Samsung Newsroom, the police in Kimberling City, Missouri, began using the Galaxy Z Flip series as body cameras two years ago in a trial run. After six months of trial run, the police in San Benito, Texas, and the Sheriff’s Department in Craighead County, Arkansas, adopted the Galaxy Z Flip. Currently, police departments in 25 cities across five states in the U.S. are expanding their use of these devices.

Samsung explains that the Galaxy Z Flip series is highly portable and has high-quality cameras. It is suitable for recording crime scene evidence, conducting witness interviews, and tracking officers in real time via GPS. The recorded footage can be instantly saved to a cloud server and streamed to police control centers. However, officers can start recording in emergencies by pressing the volume button without turning on the display or opening the phone.

Samsung also works with police forces in 39 countries worldwide, including Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia. Samsung plans to continue developing innovative products that meet customer needs and support the advancement of businesses and public services. Todd Lemoine, Chief of the Kimberling City Police, mentioned that the Galaxy Z Flip has significantly “improved operational efficiency” and team communication, enhancing their response and investigative efforts.
